I am sitting in the wifi area of a modest guesthouse in Kathmandu overwhelmed by the feeling of having come home. This is an unexpected surprise. I liked Kathmandu the last time I was here but did not realize just how much. The weather is cool — only 60 degrees. So nice!

People of all different ages and nationalities sit in armchairs scattered around the room. Some are on their computers, others are talking with their friends on their cell phones or on SKYPE. The eclectic collection of conversation is like a song, flowing, blending together beautifully, no two the same. I am thankful for this enriching experience.
