Okay so this is the new visa rules. If you have a 5 or 10 year visa you have to leave the country for 2 months every 180 days. My plan was to go to Thailand for New Years but because of this rule I would be stuck there for two months. All the girls started to panic because we did not plan to leave for such a long period of time. I also did not think that it would smart to be home in January and February in Chicago after all the holidays were over. Asher was in Nepal and said that they did not know this rule. So we found that out on Thursday and by Friday night I was on a bus over to Nepal. I went with an Indian volunteer that is working with us and we got to the boarder at like 4 in the morning. Poor kid he had to deal with me. It was cold and I was crabby because it is near impossible to sleep on those buses. But we still decided to walk the 4 miles to Nepal. It was really cool, we saw the sun rise, ate breakfast, got my visa stamped (with only a few harsh words) and was on the bus back to the farm at 11 in the morning.
I am so grateful that it all worked out, such a blessing from God.
The trade off for missing Thailand is that I am heading to the beautiful beaches of Goa!!!!!
