A Trekking Journal

November 12, 1997

Today (be) the second day of my trek around Mount Annapurna. I am exhausted and

my legs (shake) ; I just hope I am able to complete the trek. My feet (kill, really) me and

my toes (bleed), but I (want, still) to continue.

Nepal is a fascinating country, but I have a great deal to learn. Everything (be) so

different, and I (try) to adapt to the new way of life here. I (learn) a little bit of the

language to make communication easier; unfortunately, I (learn, not) foreign

languages quickly. Although I (understand, not) much yet, I believe that I (improve,

gradually) .

I (travel, currently) with Liam, a student from Leeds University in England. He (be) a

nice guy, but impatient. He (walk, always) ahead of me and (complain) that I am too

slow. I (do) my best to keep up with him, but he is younger and stronger than I am.

Maybe, I am just feeling sorry for myself because I am getting old.

Right now, Liam (sit) with the owner of the inn. They (discuss) the differences between

life in England and life in Nepal. I (know, not) the real name of the owner, but

everybody (call, just) him Tam. Tam (speak) English very well and he (try) to teach Liam

some words in Nepali. Every time Tam (say) a new word, Liam (try) to repeat it.
Unfortunately, Liam (seem, also) to have difficulty learning foreign languages. I just

hope we don't get lost and have to ask for directions.
