a gchat conversation between me and a friend who lived in nepal but went back to the states about four months ago...
her: ok, i'll let you go. let's skype sometime
me: yes, when i'm not sick, and at [cafe] writing grants on a saturday, hating life.
her: haha. ooh [cafe] <3
me: no, i hate [cafe] but i had the realization that it is literally the only place in kathmandu [within walking distance] that has consistent internet, electricity and toilet paper.
her: dude, it's so funny how much we focused on that there. but here in america, we have all those things, and it's like...still plenty of things to complain about.
re-watched this, and bracing for the culture shock...
