Kathmandu's internet cafe sucks!

The last post I wrote seemed to be swallowed up by the prehistoric internet cafe of Nepal. Windows '63... Or whatever version these computers use seems awkward and the internet slow, something which irritates a spoilt Westerner such as myself. And I am sure I just heard a rat squeek!

And so enouh of the complaining. It is hard not to feel guilty doing so in a city where children rummage through rubbish to quench their aching hunger, where women sleep among rats and a clean drink of water is hard to find if you do not have the financial means to do so. In fact the poverty here makes me very sad and I don't mind admitting this to all the people who will come across this blog. It is something I have not yet adjusted to and I have to keep on reminding myself that I have to keep positive. If anything this experience is teaching me more than a thousand books I can read on the subject and makes me more determined to help.

Anyway, I need to go again.
