To tell you the truth, I've heard the town and school haven't changed too much in the last 30 years (though we do have power at school MOST of the time now). I'm going to name drop a few of those names because people are always asking me about the Canadians of years past. <br /><br />Anyway, not to worry, I'm on my way to Samdrup Jongkhar in just two weeks. I'm really looking forward to it. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Neekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300837353838522876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593254147285361811.post-2622756198099844082010-11-29T19:16:00.860+06:002010-11-29T19:16:00.860+06:00Hi Nick
Just wanted to offer my thanks for your ex...Hi Nick<br />Just wanted to offer my thanks for your excellent blog - it's especially interesting for me to read of your adventures, as I spent several months at Jigme Sherubling school back in the autumn of 1986. At that time a good friend named Steve Perry was teaching math and computer science there (despite there being only a few hours of power available daily) and I was fortunate to be invited for a visit. Steve's older brother, a Canadian Jesuit named Father John Perry, was the HS principal and he graciously allowed me to spend several very interesting months wandering about the area. Like you, I lost a ton of weight while there, eating rice and dahl for most meals, with the odd tin of fish every now and then...<br />I found your blog by googling Khaling and also saw a few of my Flickr pics in there as well - btw, I think your pics are really good!! <br />Well, I'm rambling a bit, so I'd better just say Tashi Delek!! <br />Stay well, don't drink too much Bhutan Mist and get your butt down to Samdrup Jonkar for some R and R when you can find the time.<br />Cheers!<br />rob balcerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593254147285361811.post-63479273280978594142010-10-29T00:17:34.898+06:002010-10-29T00:17:34.898+06:00Nick!

Thanks for sharing and good luck with exams.<br /><br />CarsonCarson Kollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412162125234162323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593254147285361811.post-48976587367763281232010-10-28T23:49:14.935+06:002010-10-28T23:49:14.935+06:00Nick, I'm so glad you decided to stay!

Most of us decided to stay...for many of the same reasons, and we were all glad that we did.

I am pleased by your decision since I am about to embark on my own adventure. I will be teaching somewhere in Bhutan starting in February.
