		<description><![CDATA[There is something&#8230;special about the perspective you gain in the moment when, struggling to walk along the sheer edge of a bari, or rice paddy, in a monsoonal downpour, boots soaked with water and riddled with leeches, and panic rising into your throat as you contemplate yet another day of not finishing even a fraction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It all began with several meters of magenta pink gauze, adorned with a meandering line of golden thread, encrusted with hand embroidery and little shiny blue sequins, all stitched in together to mimic flowers and vines. Add one jumbly, bouncy-jouncy plane ticket, two arms worth of choraa (bangles), and spin. Slowly. While Kanchan’s mom wraps [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is swelteringly hot in Nepal. Sticky, skin-clinging, little-bubbles-of-perspiration running along the concave slope of my upper lip kind of hot. The monsoon season may be coming, but it sure as hell ain’t in a hurry.
Yesterday I went with my new friend Deepak for a long walk to see the tremendous Setikhola gorge (khola is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am reading Out of Africa in Nepal. I realized this morning that it seems to be a habit of mine to read books about Africa while in other places, beautiful places which, were it not for the book, I would otherwise be intensely focused on.
I finished Barbara Kingsolver’s Poisonwood Bible (an excellent book) in [...]]]></description>

So humid overnight I slept in my silk sleeping sack and nothing else. Feet and hands slathered with lotion to lock in what little [...]]]></description>

Fernando worked for ACLAS, the Andean Center for Latin American Studies, and it was he who greeted 22 sleepy and scared American students their first night in the country, shuttling them off into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a quick, illness-be-damned decision Tuesday morning, I left Kanchan and the comforts of her home to board a plane for the extraordinarily bumpy thirty minute ride to Pokhara, where I&#8217;ll spend the duration of my summer. Pokhara is west of Kathmandu and Nepal&#8217;s second biggest city, as well as one of the major departure [...]]]></description>

I went to bed totally fine &#8211; and perhaps a little drunk &#8211; early Saturday night, but woke in the middle of evening in the most immense pain: my legs ached, my back [...]]]></description>
