"So...how was Nepal?"

Welcome back everyone! Its been a roller coaster month for all of us, and all too soon we're back in sunny Singapore.

These days, the title of this post is the often heard question from friends. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to tell you more about the whole experience, but I guess I do it best in pictures and words. So here goes, a recount of our journey in retrospect.


DAY 1

By 7am, the bulk of us had assembled and Changi, raring to go.....the sheer number of boxes that we had to transport was mind boggling....we literally had to form a human conveyor belt all the way to the check in counter!


As the aircraft gradually ascend into the clouds, and the tiny speck known as home disappeared from the horizon, what we had been dreaming about and striving for in the past few months was about to become reality. Prophetically, an article on Nepal was featured in the Live! section of ST that very day.


After being cooped up in a tiny plane for five hours,we arrived at Thribuvan International airport and were reunited with the advance party!


That was not the end of the journey, but the beginning another 6 hour long bus ride to Pokhara. Thankfully, we stopped for dinner along the the way at Hamlet court, made friends and even had time for an impromptu game of cricket with Nobin and his siblings!

More soon.... Joan :)
