When I heard at 14  cat Stevens sing that Kathmandu, i'll soon be touching you, i told God I wanted to visit there when I'd be older. I suspected I would never go pretty quickly and just listened closer to Cat Stevens since I figure he was the only one who went between me and him. By the time i was ripe to go to asia, kathmandu had much changed. And my volunteering work offer came from tibet in india.

I was pretty amazed I found this opportunity so easily at no cost. I had no contact with tibetans nor temples when I applied and found the obscure website for esl and volunteering with nuns and monks and lay people in tibetan india and nepal.
