Pokhara revisited

It was Josh's 19th birthday on Saturday so we decided to take a break from teaching, took 2 days off and went to Pokhara for a "long weeekend" (=normal length weekend). We took the bus out at 5.30 am on Friday morning and spent the afternoon shopping in Pokhara. After a lovely (western!) dinner and some cocktails, we decided it was time to lose our Nepali clubbing virginity. Predictably, the man:woman ration was approximately 70:1 but, surprisingly, we were probably the most modestly dressed girls in there! Standard nepali politeness also meant that for once, there were no sleazy men rubbing up against us!

The next day was spent on a boat on the lake, where we held a couple diving competitions but mostly just chilled and enjoyed the peace and sunshine. We started off Josh's actual birthday with a few experimental homemade shots from Bamboobar, exploring flavours like Rosemary&Basil, Black Pepper and Chilli Vodka. Didn't love it, not gonna lie.

Pokhara was great, but spending 15 hours on a bus over the course of 3 days was a bit of a challenge. It's back to teaching for now. Today's homework gems:

On a "Who is your best friend and why?" essay: "I am black but my soul is white"
Definition of culture: "To and of for religion and; or jungle or forest."
On a test on problems in agriculture: It is black.
On a letter about why Pythagoras should not have been murdered: "You bullshit bla bla bla"
