    How We Met (According to Martin)

    Martin and I just finished updating our About Us page with the story of how we met. I figured it would be fun to post the stories as well – in the event that you’re reading this and aren’t our parents, who already know the story. This version is Martin’s story… How Martin met Jaime… [...]

    Nepal Photo Give-Away

    Nepal Photo Give-Away

    Settling into a short-term expat life in Kathmandu gives us time to really explore. Unlike the transitory nature of backpacking – transit, find a hotel, find a restaurant, figure out sightseeing, figure out your next form of transit – settling in somewhere gave us the freedom to move at our own pace.   We’re not [...]

    The Real Meaning of Manpower

    The Real Meaning of Manpower

    I’ve spent a lifetime assuming that moving large objects meant using large machinery. Call me what you will, but that just seemed like good common sense.   Apparently I’ve been wrong. It took our time in Nepal (or India, for that matter) to illustrate that nearly anything, and I mean anything, can be moved by [...]

    Joy!

    Joy!

    This is now my fifth post about garbage removal in Kathmandu, and I agree that it’s becoming a bit repetitive. Forgive me: when you’re wading around in trash, it becomes a bit of an issue.   However, as the picture of the above gentleman shows, the garbage men are back on the job from today. [...]

    Bacon: The Helpful Pig

    Bacon: The Helpful Pig

    I received some paperwork a few weeks ago from my Dad. With tax time creeping up, it was time to face some realities (boring) and figure out how I was going to deal with taxes. I’ll spare you the details, but it involved paperwork and signatures – one from me and two from witnesses. One [...]

    Strike Two!

    Strike Two!

    You may recall that we had a general strike here the other day. Well, that adventure has run its course now, and life in Kathmandu is less bizarre. However, there’s one group of disgruntled workers that haven’t gone to work in a week now.   The garbage collectors.   People normally drop their garbage in [...]

    Out For The Count. Again.

    I don’t know how Martin does it, but he’s successfully avoided any food related illnesses while we’ve been living in Nepal.   Me? Not so much.   After spending a fantastic (double) Christmas in our place in Kathmandu, I woke on Boxing Day to a nasty stomach ache. The stomach ache turned into debilitating cramps, [...]

    Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas!

    It’s the second time I’ve been able to do this in the last two days, but…Merry Christmas! And a very fine Christmas, indeed. Our day was spent relaxing and eating good food – two things we love to do.   Martin also braved the tourist district to buy me this gem – a fine Nepali [...]

    Merry Christmas (Sweden & most of the rest of the world)!

    It’s Christmas in Sweden…a day early. The big day in Sweden is celebrated on the 24th, rather than the 25th. So, what does this mean to a California girl? Two Christmases, of course!   Not doubling up on presents is a huge plus as well. If you’ve been following this blog you know just how [...]

    How to Make the Almost Perfect Swedish Glögg

    How to Make the Almost Perfect Swedish Glögg

      One of the many things I miss about Sweden during Christmas (family, food, friends come to mind) is the Glögg – Sweden’s famous mulled wine. Normally, there is a wide array of options available at the liquor store. However, most of the spices that go into Glögg grow here, so I set out to [...]

    Can We Keep Her?

    Can We Keep Her?

      We had a visitor today. She’s fuzzy and warm and nice. We’re going back and forth on the issue on whether or not to abduct her and have her live in our backpack. She’d fit just fine, I promise!

    Daytrip to the Nagarjun Forest Reserve

    Daytrip to the Nagarjun Forest Reserve

    The other day, we decided that a bit of fresh air wouldn’t hurt. Looking at our options, we decided that a bit of semi-urban trekking would be the thing to do. Hence, we hopped into a taxi to the Nagarjun Forest Reserve, also known as the Queen’s forest. Today it’s no longer the queen’s forest, [...]
