Caleb helping our helper make chapati's this morning.
Downtown Kalimpong in all of it's glory. Many times since there is not much to do here in Kalimpong, Mike and I will come and park here downtown and people watch. It is definitely entertaining.
Usually when you go to town and you park, someone comes by to collect your parking fee, which is about 25 cents.....recently we got a new man on the job and this is him. The other day I was sitting in the car with Caleb and Judah while Mike went to get a few things and he came by. I didnt have any money on me so I was trying to explain to him that I had no money and that we would pay him when Mike came back. Oh my goodness....he was freaking out and saying a bunch of jiberish to me. I know I dont really speak Nepali, but I dont even think he was speaking Nepali and looked like he was motioning something like he wasn't going to be able to eat. He would leave and then come back, and finally Mike came back and was able to give him his fee. Ugh! So the next time we were in town I had the 10 rupees out ready to give to him, so I didnt have to encounter that again and he would hopefully take it and be on his way. Luckily it worked, although he did try and get in the car to sit at the driver's seat to take a picture as a driver. Luckily, Saroja was with us this time and told him not to.
