How Am I Really Doing?

My most frequently asked question via email lately is, "How are you doing, really?" I offer the following response:

1- no sickness (yet! cross my fingers and knock on wood)

2- no jetlag

3- no culture shock

4- yes, it is super hot and humid but when it rains its all worth it

5- yes, i miss everyone back home, dearly

6- yes, the food is awesome

7- no, my tibetan is like nails on a chalkboard

8- no, my nepali is horrid

I'm doing super-duper fantastic, really. It is awesome; really, truly awesome. Watch out if you drink the water though....
