Namaste from nepal :)
Day 1: Woke up and was so excited to be leaving for Nepal. Chole and I flew from Belfast to Heathrow to meet the other volunteers. We met the rest of the guys in London clearly identifiable with all of them in their platform2 t-shirts. I was one of the few not wearing it so of course I went and changed into mine. We boarded the plane with me thinking what the hell are my going to do on an 8 hour flight. However, the plane was amazing with a range of movies, games and music to choose from. A movie with Ashton kuthcher along with an indian....could I ask for any more. Then off to sleep with a personally made juke box selection and the blanket and pillow supplied. :) We arrived in india airport and we were greated with our first Namaste (hello). I was so excited to hear the only nepali word I had remembered before my trip. India airport was amazing with indoor gardens and "green people" polishing the leaves on the plants. Onto Nepal on another flight. We were met in Nepal with a blast of heat. Nepal airport was basic with passport control completing paperwork by hand instead of scanning like in UK airports. We met our platform2 leaders outside the airport and they loaded our luggage onto the top of the bus. I was suprised the roof didn't come down on top of us with the weight of our stuff. We were dropped of near our hotel. We were paired into our rooms then it was sleepy time :)
