It's back to the world of blogging for me, as I spend two weeks of limbo in Singapore waiting my visas to Nepal and India to be processed. With the MA in Linguistics behind me, I suppose it's time for another adventure.
This next trip starts with three weeks in Kathmandu, followed by two weeks of trekking in the Khumbu region around Everest. I'll be flying to India in early November, where I plan to be in the North east from early November to late January 2011. I've never been to Nepal, and I only spent a few weeks in NE India in early 2009. (My last memory of Nagaland was getting poisoned by my breakfast omelette at the Hotel Japfü before having to catch a -thankfully quick- train from Dimapur to Diphu that same day.)
I'm interested in work that's happening in Nepal on endangered languages and looking at what can be done in NE India, which in theory is the main motivation for the blog. Of course, there'll be the odd hellish travel story (with details slightly embellished) and tales of language learning difficulties.
Looking forward to learning some Nepali over the next weeks!
