3M: mice, mould and mites



Our house that we're living in is infested! After being warned of mice in our rooms 2 weeks ago, we've finally had our experience of out in our room!! Actually it was Louise, my roommate who had one sitting on her foot in the middle of the night. I sleep in fear every night. Also all our clothes and sleeping bags smell of mould and I'm sure that's not helping with my respiratory problems.
Enough complaining, I have a day off today!! I was planning to go to work but the street that I normally take was blocked off and no buses were going up there. Also it's women's day (Teej) and I really am not supposed to work anyways!! Yay! We're going to go to Pashupatinath to see all the women dressed up at the temple today. It is only a 10 minute walk away from where we live which is so great! Another volunteer arrived today from the States so it's getting to be a crowded house which makes it more lively! I like how you get to meet so many different people when you travel and work in a different in a city and really get to know them. Tonight we're going to a fancy dinner at the Dwarika hotel for a buffet bbq!! I'm really excited to eat charred meat, I don't think I've eaten meat for a week. This hotel is so beautiful, it restores old Newari architecture and incorporates it into their hotel. I will definitely post pics as soon as I can.
