This is pointless but imma post it anyway!
It's strange but now I've been back home for the same amount of time that I was in Nepal and, even though at the time it seemed like we'd been there forever and we got almost as close as if we had been, in truth... It seems like we never went at all.
We really weren't there for very long..
Anyway, that's not what this is about.
Well, it is but.. I was going to do a post when I came back about everything we did/saw/ate (Dahl baht, dahl baht, coconut biscuits, dahl baht) but I know that everyone would be much more interested in reading this:
(Ordered in whatever order I remember them, and I'll leave out the multitude of racist and otherwise offensive comments she made. I'll also paraphrase, my memory isn't that good.)
-1- While in Pokhara (having done work at an orphanage, canoed on a river to a temple on an island by the foothills of the Annapurnas etc etc lifetime experience)
Rachel: I'm sorry but we could've done all of this in Scotland
Me: *Blinks* Whut?
Rachel: Well come on, I've climbed up Ben Neverest.
Me: *Epic-Face-Palm*
Note: She said 'Ben Neverest' a lot. I think she was going for Ben Nevis but got Everest mixed in. I see what she did thar, and it makes me cry inside! >_<
-2- She stole a 500 rupee carved wooden elephant from a shop in Pokhara and I tried to make her put it back:
Rachel: *Puts elephant in her pocket*
Me: Aiish Rachel you can't do that!
Rachel: What, he [the shopkeeper] doesn't know
Me: Yeah but just because you're in another country doesn't make it okay to steal..it makes it worse!
Rachel: Sssh! Ahahahaha *Leaves shop as ahopkeeper comes back in*
Me: *Has nothing to do but follow* [Once outside with Lee and Tim (2 staff people)] OMG Rachel I can't believe you did that. You do realise Nepal's one of the 10 poorest countries in the world right??
Rachel: *Laughs in that really annoying 'I'm so cool' kind of way* Sssh! Who cares? Thats my presents taken care of.
Me: *Look of disgust... and ignores for the rest of the afternoon/evening, there was nothing else I could do.*
-3- I had been bobbing around in our room in Chitwan which led to the rug being shuffled around a bit. Rachel didn't see this because she was audibly having The Big D in the toilet. >_< Then when I was on the toilet... (I should mention it was just a number 1. XD)
Me: dum dee dum dee dum *Pssssssh* (Nice sound effects, no?)
Rachel: Aaaagh! Katie katie quick!
Me: *Inner exasperated sigh* [Unenthusiastically] What?
Rachel: There's a snake in our room! Aaagh! I think there's a snake under the carpet!!1
Me: T_T *Thinks* Oh yeah right and Super Junior are on my bed. *Washes hands and leaves bathroom at a leisurely pace*
Rachel: Look!! *points at the mess I made of the rug when I was bobbing around on it* It's a snake there's a snake in our room!!
Me: *Flatly* Y'know that's probably just a bump in the rug right?
Rachel: It's a snake! It's a snake!! Uuuh what shall we do I'm scared!
Me: *Does nothing* Yeah it's just a bump in the rug...
*This goes on for some time, then the hotel staff + Lee, Phil and Chris come running over from the restaurant, and it's still going on*
Staff: *Find out it's nothing and lol at teh phail*
Me: *Oh no, they can't think that I'm part of this* Lol, what did I say? If only you'd listened to me...
Note: I'm not really a bitchy person, there's just some things I can't stand. I'm tired so I'll finish/add to this list at some point that isn't now.
* Rachel was one of the two people I was 'buddied' with in the trip. She was loud and selfish; completely contrasting Jenny, the other person who I was buddied with, who I felt sorry for because she had to spend 7 hours of the flight back listening to Rachel go on...and on and on and on...
** No bitchiness intended... well, no more than is deserved anyway, they're tru fax, it's not my fault if they sound bitchy.

There was one other thing I had to say.
That was...
Doesn't this just look like the most amazing magazine ever?!!
I wants it.
And I wants to be able to read Chinese..
Damn.
ETA: Wow the news is dull in England. Amid the stabbings (it's strange how you just expect them now), there's always that one story that just makes you go 'Lol WHUT??'
The story I'm talking about?
Bogus 'Cornish' pasties face ban!!1
Woah.
We really weren't there for very long..
Anyway, that's not what this is about.
