How do twelve American girls in a Nepali village near the Indian border pass the time once their day's work is done? Let me count the ways.
10. Make a list of things you'll google once you get internet access again.
9. Enjoy the sunset and later gaze at the starry sky.
8. Plan the week's menu for when you'll finally return to America. That is, if you don't die of heat stroke before this trip comes to a close.
7. Beat yourself up for not using your free time more wisely.
6. Daydream about having western toilets and a real shower because you forgot what it feels like to be clean.
5. Attempt to avoid townspeople who use their phones to take unnecessary photos of/with you.
4. Find a stick and use it to unclog the squatty potty…again.
3. Check your teammate's head for lice. Get your own head checked while you're at it.
2. Walk to the village snack stand for cokes and/or oreos.
And the number one way to kill time when living the village life is:
1. Play matchmaker by spending hour deliberating over who the squad's future couples will be.
