So after three and a half months in India we finally moved on to Nepal. We had a fantastic time there and learnt a few lessons along the way. So here are a few tips:

Keep one eye on a pony at all times

Never expect the same thing when you order the same dish at a different restaurant

If you ask if the tv works, make sure you ask if the signal works too

If told there is a hot shower, check there is a shower

Be prepared to sleep/live with rats, cockroaches, frogs, cats, bats, monkeys etc.

Be prepared for small children to cry when looking at you

You will be asked to be in numerous holiday photos of strangers

Monkeys are sneaky

Holding up 2 fingers whilst saying the word 'two' might get the response 'three?' a few times

You will hear 'want something?' at least 300 times a day

You will never have to queue as you will be pushed out of the way

Just when you think you are about to lose it, someone will be so helpful and friendly it will restore your faith in people

You can go 12hrs without a pee if you are really de-hydrated

You can eat curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Indian spicey and English spicey are slightly different

We can sing Hare Krishna without laughing after 2 weeks at an Ashram

Coconut Feni will cause a 3 day hangover

Nepal up next!
