This past week we had a vacation from school and three of us (myself Hannah and Shannon) travelled to Nepal! It was great to have the opportunity to do something like this for an amazingly low price and God definitely blessed us with people who helped us find our way around the whole time!
The pictures are attached here with captions saying what they are.




The best part of the trip is twofold, firstly, whitewater rafting was amazing, yet there are no pictures. The scenery was like nothing I have ever seen before, as we rafted through the mountains and valleys, as the sun shone on the green plush surroundings. It was one of the best experiences I have had in my many times traveling.

The second part of the trip that I enjoyed was the escape from our surroundings here in Dhaka. It gave me a chance to remember that I was, in fact, here. I know that sounds strange, but sometimes you need to leave a place to realize this. I found it odd to notice myself saying "when I get home" and referring to Dhaka, and the reality of my journey here is finally starting to settle in.

It was however, quite hard to see all the idols and temples of the other religions (mainly Hindu and Buddhist). I found it hard to see how many people have spent many hours worshiping things made by man and idols made of things that too shall pass. I am thankful that I have come to know a God that surpasses time, and I pray for the people of Nepal.

Speaking of the people and the culture, both were completely different than here in Bangladesh.
