I made it!!

I can't believe I am finally here... well sort of here :) I flew into Khatmandu, Nepal on January 13th and I will fly into Delhi on the 21st. I came here first to await the arrival of the family I will be working for.
This country has some similarities to India, but a lot of differences as well. There aren't as many people flooding the streets as in India and the people have a different look to them. I've been staying with another girl my age who is here for a few months doing website design work for Project Rescue. She is very nice and we have been able to keep each other company!
The poverty is indescribable. Imagine a poverty stricken area in America... some ghetto in the city where the buildings aren't kept up and there are many homeless. Take that image and picture it 100 times worse. Now span that image across an entire country. That's what it's like here and in most 3rd world countries.
It's been very cold and they have no heat in their homes and their electricity shuts off twice a day for 3 hours. But I've managed to keep warm for the most part!
The food has been very good... well I've only been to restaurants that serve American food...but it's delicious :)
There is too much to describe in one post. I will do my best to keep this site updated with blogs and pictures.
Until next time... enjoy the nice warm greeting of American heated homes!
