Pamela and her family first traveled to Nepal during
the winter of 1996 to buy merchandise for her store, Folkheart, in Bristol.
While there the whole family fell in love with Nepal and her peoples.
Since then Pamela has returned a dozen times spending up to ten months
a year in Kathmandu. She maintains an apartment now in Boudha. Come and
learn what it's like to be an expat in a “foreign land.”
Pamela will speak not only about Nepali food, culture, politics, weather,
holidays and religion but also about what it's like to rent an apartment
and live day to day life far from what is labeled home. Please bring any
questions you might have about Nepal and she will answer them from her
experience. |
