My Gap Year

After meeting the travel agent that had organised our National park trip only once we were invited to his wedding. With just a days notice we were very worried about what to wear so on the morning before we hurriedly had traditional Nepalise outfits made.

Already feeling a little silly in such bright colours we had our make up down for us by another volunteers host Mum. The make up was by no means subtle and the group of us walked down the road to get a taxi standing out hugely! It was really interesting watching the wedding. The bride and groom have to carry out lots of sacrifces of money and food, while the guests just watch, chat and dance. When it was time to eat we were sat down with the bride and groom. It was bizzare as we didn’t know them but just cause we were all western it made us very important.
