So I have been a blogging delinquent the past month. I returned back to Oregon on July 1 in time to celebrate America's independence.
The culture shock was expected, as it's usually worse coming from East to West than West to East. I still try to walk to the left of people on the street, and I was handing things to people with my right hand for weeks. But other than that, I was ready to be home soaking up the Oregon sun minus the KTM humidity, and eating my fill of organic veggies and berries (as opposed to Carbofest 2011 that was four months of daal bhat - don't get me wrong, I loved it, but 8 kilos later, it was getting a bit out of control).
Now the agenda is to fundraise like mad for The Kumari Project, and return to Nepal in January of 2012 to implement some of the programming we are developing now.

This will be my last post for a while, except I might continue to blog about wonderful eateries and drinkeries (aka bars) in the great northwest as I come across them.
