Teaching in Nepal-I hope all love will not be disappointed. Thank you for meeting you.

Text/Meet Miss L

? From unfamiliar to familiar, the children's smiles are innocent, and the people here are extremely happy and satisfied. I hope that one day, you can all go out, see the world and feel the beauty of the world; May all love not be disappointed, and be grateful to meet.

? On my 20 18 target list, one item is to travel abroad alone.

? When I set this goal, I didn't know which country I was going to. Just in August, a good friend I know was sharing an international volunteer teaching activity, and I contacted the organizer. The countries at that time were Sri Lanka, Chiang Mai, Thailand and Nepal. I have been contacting a customer service person named Peng. He asked me which country I was going to choose. I asked him which of these countries was the poorest, and I wanted to go to the poorest country. He said with a smile, then go to Nepal!

? The second reason why I decided to go to Nepal is that I saw the following painting at the Guan Shanyue Art Exhibition in early August, and I was deeply attracted. I stood in front of the painting for ten minutes. The name of this painting is the old man in Kathmandu. I am curious about what kind of country this is, which makes me interested in Kathmandu. Some paintings, once seen, will take root in your heart. Just like this old man in Kathmandu.

When a person has experienced a lot and suffered a lot, he will not be afraid to move forward. Even if he is a person, he will live as a team. I think this state is me at the moment.

Before I left, I collected some information about teaching and Nepal on Baidu, and then recorded the collected information in a notebook for emergencies. Knowing that it was poor there, I bought some candy and yogurt bread for my children to take with me. These things are small, but they give me all the warmth I can.

? My trip to Nepal, in my subconscious, is not only a simple trip, but also a mental journey, an encounter with an unknown self, an exploration of the country, or a departure for growing up a better self.

? On September 28th18th, after work, go to Baoan Airport. The plane flew from Shenzhen to Kuala Lumpur at 20: 55, and then transferred from Kuala Lumpur to Kathmandu, Nepal. On this trip, I specially changed a 20-inch suitcase, and 20-inch luggage is enough for one person. I pulled a 24-inch suitcase when I went to Yunnan before, not to mention the freight. The point is that it is very time-consuming. After getting off the plane, I waited for more than 40 minutes to get my checked baggage. I still remember the winter in Kunming. This time I traveled with a 20-inch suitcase. As a result, I was told that I was 2 kilograms overweight when I passed the security check at the airport, but I passed the security check at the airport without extra charge. Shenzhen is so warm.

It was past one o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Kuala Lumpur airport. When going through the formalities, I met many young people from Africa with dark skin. They look sleepy. They should also change planes in Kuala Lumpur. Some people snuggled up to the marble pillars at the airport and fell asleep. I walked by quietly for fear of waking them.

? The morning in Kuala Lumpur is very quiet. I found a place to sit down and ate a bowl of hot noodles. In a foreign country, I feel that the food at home is warmer and more filling. After eating, I wandered around the shopping store at the airport and felt very awake. I met a girl from Shenzhen and a girl from Hangzhou, and they went to Indonesia to see volcanoes together. They are much younger than me. They asked me why I wanted to teach in such a distant country alone. I said, just like why you went all the way to Indonesia to see the volcano. Then, the three of us smiled at each other. In this world, there are so many reasons, but because I want to do it, because I like it, because I feel meaningful, so I am desperate for it in Qianshan.

? I have to say Nepal is really far away. It takes three hours to fly from Shenzhen to Kuala Lumpur, but it takes more than five hours from Kuala Lumpur to Nepal. After two full sleeps, the time difference between Nepal and China is about 2.5 hours. Beijing time 16: 00, Nepal time 13: 30. Our plane landed at Kathmandu airport, the capital of Nepal. After landing, I found the counter to fill in the entry formalities, and then I met three big boys from Shenzhen and Foshan during the consultation. They made an appointment to climb the Himalayas on foot together. After filling out the form, we began to line up, about 15 minutes. The staff at the counter listened to what we said in Chinese, and then told us that China people were not allowed to go through immigration formalities at this window. There is a special window at window 1 to handle the entry formalities for China people. There is no need to queue there. This is just a VIP service, which is a great compliment to China. Foreigners waiting in line at other windows looked at the four of us with envy in their eyes.

? After coming out of the airport, because of the different places of travel, we left each other WeChat and said goodbye to them.

I took the photo of me getting dressed that day to Peng and asked him to send it to the person who arranged to pick me up at school. Then Peng took a photo of the person who came to pick me up and sent it to me. When I left the airport gate, I saw a row of people holding signs with their names on them. I carefully looked at the photos of the couple that Peng sent me. Soon, I found two people in the photo, either my hat was too conspicuous or my unique yellow suitcase. After meeting, we shook hands in a friendly way. I was met by President Bickram and his wife Mamata. Out of caution, I asked him to give me my mobile phone number in China. There is no doubt that he did give me a complete mobile phone number and showed me the chat record between him and Peng. Experience tells me that at any time, don't let your guard down, especially when you are in a new environment. After the appraisal is completed, make sure you are safe. I got in their car. On the bus, I saw cars and motorcycles shuttling through the streets of Kathmandu, which was very noisy and lively. When I first met, I felt that the headmaster and his wife were very easy-going. In the conversation with them, I felt that they were very sincere people. They know that my spoken English is not very good, so in the conversation, they will slow down and try to make me understand what they mean.

? The headmaster's house is a three-story house, located in a small town halfway up the mountain. I was arranged to live in the guest room on the second floor. The room has Nepalese characteristics. The windows are very similar to those of the ancient official residence in China. They are very old, but the sound insulation effect is very good. I found this the night after I checked in. The window of my room is next to the street. At ten o'clock in the evening, there are many dogs barking in the town, and then there will be a group of people beating gongs and drums. I asked the headmaster, and he said it was a custom in Nepal to drive away monsters. Every time the gongs and drums ring, Mamata will come to my room and close the window. Then, I don't know all the movements in the street outside. I have always been happy-go-lucky. After closing the doors and windows, I have an excellent sleep effect.

This is the headmaster's daughter Bidushi, a strange girl. She can speak English and Nepali fluently. I also learned Japanese recently, and my next goal is Korean, which is incredible. She always likes to come to my room and ask me some strange questions. She is also very good at playing games and electronic piano. It looks a little strong, but it is cheerful and healthy.

? Nepalese believe in Buddhism and Hinduism. In the streets, you can see temples or Buddha statues in about ten minutes' walk. They are devout, easy to satisfy, not too greedy for the outside world, and live a simple life, so it is easy to get happiness.

? The day after I checked in, it happened to be a school holiday. Many schools in Nepal have different holiday times, some on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and some on Fridays and Saturdays. I'm new here, so I can take a day off to get familiar with the surrounding environment.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Mamata is busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

Breakfast in Nepal: roast chicken, egg bread and black tea, delicious!

? Sunbathing on the roof in the morning, overlooking the town, the air is fresh and everything is so quiet and beautiful. When I met my neighbor in bask in the quilt, she greeted me warmly in Nepali on the roof and asked me which country I came from in English. When she learned that I was from China, she said excitedly that China is a very powerful and beautiful country.

? If a friend who is new to Nepal needs to take a taxi or eat, he can exchange a small amount of rupees at the airport, 1 RMB can be exchanged for 15 rupees, and the rest can be exchanged in the bustling Tamil area. Peng reminded me before that it is best to go to Chengdu Hotel or some Chinese restaurants in Tamil area to exchange money, where the exchange rate is more cost-effective, and 1 RMB can be exchanged for 17 rupees.

Tickets for Duba Square 1000 rupees. The square is not big, and there are many people selling oil paintings and bodhi beads. You can bargain, at least by half, and some can be lower. There is a young man selling Bodhi in Duba Square, with dark skin, about 18 years old, who speaks Chinese very well and is good at doing business. He talks with people sincerely and persistently. His goal is to develop in China and Beijing in the future.

? Nepal drives on the right, and vehicles drive on the left, so people need to drive on the right in the street, otherwise traffic jams will easily occur. There are no traffic lights here. Traffic is directed by traffic police gestures.

? With regard to water use in Nepal, the quality of tap water is very poor, even obviously yellow. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal, and water is not tight. In a slightly remote town, water resources are in short supply and water is often cut off.

Nepalese food, curry rice, hand-grabbed rice, noodles and so on. My stomach has not been very good, so I prepared stomach medicine, berberine and other medicines in advance before coming. I'm not used to the first day's diet. Mamata's bean soup is cooked with beans, not very thin. Cover the rice directly, and there is tomato sauce, salty and a little spicy. I couldn't tell the taste, so I went straight to bibimbap. Their vegetable varieties are different from those in China. The food I ate on the first day was a little bitter, but I managed to finish it.

After dinner, I think it is very important for different countries and cultures to adapt to and respect the culture of that country. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I've only seen it on TV before. My trip to Nepal gave me a deeper understanding of this country, and I also learned to understand it and accept the food culture here.

When staying in a hotel, or traveling, it is best to bring the hotel's business card or hotel address, so as to inform the driver when returning to the hotel or hotel address. This method is very suitable for English beginners like me to avoid uncontrollable situations due to some language barriers.

There are temples everywhere in Kathmandu. When visiting temples, you are not allowed to wear slippers, shorts, or exposed or tight underwear. It is best to wear a knee-length skirt, which is a respect for religion. Therefore, in this trip to Nepal, the choice of clothes for travel is mainly simple and simple.

In the evening, some friends came to Mamata's clothing store. They heard that I was from China, full of expectation and joy. I showed them some photos of Shenzhen. They taught me to speak Nepali, and everyone had a good time. Finally, Mamata chose a Nepalese costume for me to wear and take a group photo with.

? When I first prepared to come to Nepal, I was actually worried that there would be obstacles in language exchange. Now, as Mamata said, smile is the best language and the only common language regardless of national boundaries.

? Five people in the headmaster's family like reading books. There are many books in each room, which are basically in English and Nepalese fonts. The picture below shows the headmaster when he was young. He told me it was him and his classmates. Time flies too fast. Many students have gone all over the world and are doing a lot of work in different industries. There are five people in the family, but they are all gentle, enthusiastic, educated and polite. In the past few days, they have been taken good care of by the Bickram family. The time difference between Nepal and China is about two hours, which is equivalent to sleeping in Nepal at around two or three o'clock every day. Sometimes they worry that I can't adjust the time difference, and even send me a bowl of hot noodles to my room before going to bed at night. It's really sweet and feels more like a family.

? Bidusi likes playing with me very much. I have never known the fate of children. In foreign countries, I met like-minded children. She likes to come to my room every night and share some interesting things with me. She also likes China and listens to me sing China's songs. Several times, singing and singing, she fell asleep in my bed. China's songs seemed to be her hypnotic serenade. Mamata was worried that it would affect my rest, so she came over and insisted on taking her away. I waved to persuade her. Under the dim night light, I read a book from Nepal and snuggled up in bed. Bidushi slept soundly and the night was so quiet.

? Talk about teaching again. The school where I teach is called Bagh Balab Boarding High School. When I first came, the headmaster talked to me and asked me which class I was going to teach. My first thought is to teach the lower grades, thinking that the vocabulary of the lower grades is getting less and less complicated. Later, I found that it was better to teach in senior grades. The class would not be disturbed, noisy and orderly.

The thirst for knowledge of children here is completely beyond my imagination. When the headmaster pushed the door and took me into the classroom, they all stood up to greet me and came to shake hands with me. They greeted each other cordially in Chinese, and the enthusiasm could not be expressed in words. The campus of the school is not big. I walk along the tree-lined path every day. It only takes about 2 minutes to get to the teaching building, but it may be because I'm from China and I'm here to teach. The students here are really enthusiastic. They all came to greet each other and shake hands. It takes 2 minutes to walk, and it takes me 10 more minutes to get out of this traffic jam. The same is true after school every day. They will take the school bus in an orderly way and say hello before leaving school. Children are extremely interested in new things, which also leads to their strong learning ability. Many Chinese words and sentences can be memorized by teaching them once.

? Every morning around 10, I will go to school, first report to the principal's office, then determine the course schedule for the day, and then have a meeting with other teachers in the guidance office. The dean will publicize some teaching matters of the day.

? Children here are eager for unknown knowledge, and they will ask many strange questions. Some senior students can even sing China's national anthem and folk songs. Before coming to Nepal, they especially liked their local country folk song Resham Firiri. Later, they mentioned this song to the seventh grade students in class. As a result, several of their girls showed me a live version of Resham Firiri, which gave them great satisfaction. I told them that I like China and Shenzhen. When they saw the picture, they were all very excited, as if this was a magical country, and their eyes were full of yearning and longing.

? Sometimes when there is no class in the afternoon, I sit under the big tree in the campus canteen. My boss will send me a cup of coffee and a little dessert from Nepal. It is a great feeling of relaxation to watch the active children playing basketball on the playground at sunset. Occasionally, I will meet other teachers and sit together and talk about Nepal and China.

? One day Mamata and I talked about China's diet. I asked her if she liked Chinese food. She said she hadn't eaten it, and she didn't know what it smelled like. Then, after school, we went to the vegetable market with the headmaster to buy some ingredients. There are really few vegetable varieties in Nepal's vegetable market, especially green vegetables, and there are almost only one or two kinds (except coriander). Many vegetables are similar to those in China, some of which have never been seen before. Nepalese like tomatoes and potatoes very much, and they can be eaten at one meal almost every day. As for meat, they prefer chicken. Especially the fish in Nepal are not fresh, which is probably related to the lack of water resources.

When the Bickram family heard me say that we were going to cook Chinese food for dinner, five people in my family went into battle and stood in a row behind me, watching me fiddle with the pots and pans in the kitchen. I'm so nervous. I haven't cooked in China for almost a year. But the final product doesn't look too bad. They are used to eating Cantonese food. Especially Bidush, I cooked her a bowl of chicken soup. The child can eat three bowls of rice, half a bowl of chicken soup, two chicken legs and a large glass of pineapple juice. It's really amazing.

? Time flies and the week's teaching work is coming to an end. After breakfast on the last day, Mamata said that the headmaster asked me to come over. After that, he handed me a yellow envelope with the sign of Bagh Bhairab boarding Hingh School. I opened it and found a certificate with the seal, number and signature of the principal of the school. A short week has made me reluctant to part with this country from a stranger at first. The headmaster asked me if I could stay here to teach and not go back to China. I smiled. We are always on the road and always love life, even in all parts of the country.
