I am living in a village where I can buy just some chocolates, biscuits and bubble gums.
Somewhere between Kathmandu, Mt. Everest and Sikkim, I guess, with lot of tourist fooling around isn't it?
But with your basic needs
covered.
That Nepali language seems hard to deal with. Do you understand Hindi?
The closest (really not much) I've been from your country was at Colombo - Sri Lanka discharging sugar from Korea, for about two weeks.
I am just an addicted hobbyist and due to language factor (due to non-english mother tongue) it's little difficult to learn complicated thing so fast.
I spent quite some time at sea so I took advantage to improve my Portuguese and French and also learnt a lot of electronic theory, but no practice (more or less the same as with Playboy or Hustler magazines: you just read
). Practice comes later when you go ashore or at home after signing off.
Due to the printed material I could buy, I was used to read basically in English, French, Italian and Portuguese but not in Spanish, my mother tongue. The most long and convoluted texts I found, were in French and eventually, Italian language. Why? I do not know. So many words to say simple things.
Amongst my friends and acquaitances there were several electronic technicians. Speaking to them was not easy in the beginning because I lacked the most basic vocabulary in Spanish to discuss even simple matters. Now things have improved
.
Have you ever been abroad?
