ALSO: I always fear that when my mom or dad become "very sick" (with god's blessing, they are healthy now), I won't be able to attend them. I am a single son. What am I supposed to tell them, "my boss won't be happy?" or something like that. Jeez. If I ask my boss, he actually very likely lets me go to Nepal, and often the real excuse is money. And how much money do we earn here anyway? Back home, I could be something. Even when I am nothing. I think I really appreciate you living in Nepal. Just do something creative. Make yourself happy, make yourself convinced that you are doing something that is going to make yours, and somebody else's, life better.
