I have a friend who goes to UNM, so holler at me if you need his number or sth! if you are interested in knowing about Albuqurque, well its pretty much a desert with mercury level reaching at around 110 in summer. there is not much stuffs to do in the downtown but if you are interested in hiking there are quite a few hiking spots there. there are at least 2-3 students who goes to UNM and there is a nepali proffessor of econ Dr. Bohara as well. there are at least 5-6 other nepalese as well as far as i can recall.
