  • Memories from Nepal Thank You from VIIIPALO
    Memories written by participants of the study visit 2018 to Malpi International School in Nepal illustrated by Maksymilian Mazgaj My time spent in Nepal was definitely well spent. It wasn’t my first time to visit Asia, but it was very different from what I've seen and experienced on my previous trips to the continent. When you think Nepal you think Mount Everest, but what I've learned is that Nepal is a country of happiness. The people that live there seem to be happy even if living under the most unimaginable conditions. Nepal is a beautiful and fascinating country. Nepali people are also very hospitable, welcoming and grateful for every day. It’s them, who made this trip such a good experience. Visiting Nepal taught me how to look at life from a different perspective and gave me a lot of things to think about. It was also great fun and I’ll surely remember it forever. By Natasza Bryksy *** When you ask somebody what does he knows about Nepal, he will probably say that Nepal is famous for its high mountains. I thought the same before visiting. I think that Nepal is a beautiful place and it ought to be more popular. Beautiful views, delicious cuisine, fabulous temples and the most hospitable people in the world - are all features which make Nepal wonderful. I also learned some new things from my visit to this fantastic country. I was shocked when I saw that, despite how hard people worked, they were still happy and did not complain about anything.
