Beaujolais Day in Nepal: Wine Talk With a French Teacher
Continued from previous blog: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!: French Ambassador’s Wine Party in Kathmandu I am basically an introvert (except on the web of course), and I find it quite difficult to sustain with phony smiles and extra courteous talks in many social gatherings.

Kathmandu Bus Ride: [Mis] adventure!?
