Another day at the school. I took class 9 for an English session. Then helped one of the teachers with English. The teachers are keen for tuition to improve their English, both for them and their teaching. Lunch was followed by an easy afternoon. I went down to the spring for a bath and just after stripping off a man walked past… A bit embarrassing. He didn’t seem to mind.
Dinner was had and off to bed around 8.45pm. Around 10.30pm the building shook. There was a noise like thunder and the building shook. I jumped up and dashed out if the building to find the others already outside. The guys in the building didn’t even wake. We stood in the freezing night for about 20 minutes contemplating what just happened. Some of the girls were shaken. After a call to Sujan in Kathmandu we hear they felt it too. Terrifying for them there.
wow!! it must be hard for the people already traumatised by the first big quake! are you finding the tremors scary? a bit exciting? annoying when the wake you up at night?
There was only one fortunately. Both scared and exciting. You’re not sure if it’s just a warm up for a bigger one. Buildings here are safer now, not made of stone.
