Hi Dambar,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to reply so late to your comment (2 years!?). I only just now saw it. I was teaching English in a monastery in Nepal's Solukhumbu region. It was a monastic school, so I taught the boys aged 7-15, plus some of the adult monks. I lived there a total of 3 months and had a wonderful time; thinking about returning this summer!
