packing to go home on wednesday cant wat to go home to tell every one what I have done. miss the family a lot. It's very different here to home. We've seen lots of interesting things - everywhere we go there is something new to take in. There are a lot of poor people here and I feel sad for the beggars. Sometimes I give them a few rupees.
I've really enjoying seeing a new country and experiencing new things and seeing new things that many people don't get a chance to see.
I've made many friends since we've been here and played cards with the locals in lots of different towns. I bought a chess set and have been playing with pop and joy a lot and it's been great fun.
Be home soon!!!! THE END OF TODAY'S STORY. More adventures to come.

Here we are in Nepal

Can you believe I'm in Kkkk-Katmandu. I've been here a few days and have seen lots of things different to what we see at home. There are cows in the street and the butcher shops have the meat out on the street too. The people are very friendly and they think I'm a Tibetan. They can't work out what a brown boy with long black hair is doing with a couple of white people.
I love shopping! I go to the money change and turn $20 into 1640 rupees. I feel like a rich man!
Then I go and buy little bits and pieces to take home. So far I've bought twelve bracelets, three sets of prayer beads, a prayer wheel, a shawl and other bits and pieces.
Tomorrow we go up into the Himalayas trekking - I'll be gone for a week so won't be able to write on my blog.
Having a great time - seeing lots of interesting things - oh - and Miss Sheridan, I'm doing some homework as well.
Hope everyone good at home. See you soon. Rangi

I'm eight years old as I start this and I live at Mambray Creek in South Australia on a farm. I have lots of fun and I want to share this with you. In a few weeks I'm off on a big adventure to Nepal. I'm getting all my gear ready to go - have my rucksack and warm clothes as we are going trekking. How lucky am I eh, at only eight.
I go to Mid North Christian College in Port Pirie and this year I will be in year 4.
I have a motor bike on the farm and I have fun riding around or helping my pop with the sheep.
I've tried lots of things - scouts, hip hop, cricket, guitar playing, hockey, tennis and swimming. I love rock climbing and hiking in the National Park near the farm. We are close to Mount Remarkable National Park so often go there swimming, hiking, or just enjoying the view at a barbie. My grandfather - Poppy Russell works in the National Park and often has to go off fighting fires.
My parents were born in the Cook Islands so I am a Maori Aussie boy.
