I found a bunch of videos from Nepal! Unfortunately, several of them that I'd like to share are too big for blogger to upload... But I'll figure out a way. Here are some starters though.
First, a video of Nepali traffic. This was taken on my second day in Nepal, and from what I know now, it isn't really that bad at all. But if you get lucky, around 26 seconds you can see a dog laying in the middle of the street. That's pretty standard.
Here are some videos from Dolpo:
This was during the first weekend we were in Dolpa--it was a local festival where a boy became a Goddess. We were confused too. he's the one dressed up in a skirt, of course, and in a trance.
Here's one of our culture days at school, where the kids danced and sang for us... and we were expected to do the same. The little girl on the far right was amazing!!
Last, a video of the Dashain festival in Dolpa, where there was more dancing and giving of strings.
This is just an example of a class at Bigu. This particular morning, Rob and I were reviewing the subtle differences between the sounds "and", "ahn", and "een", and the meaning of the corresponding words.
