The other day at the clinic, an American came for treatment because he got punched in the face the day before and he thought the cut on his lip was infected. After, making fun of him for being dressed funky, Dr. Pradham told him to gargle with salt water and he will be fine. He said "but I heard that mouth wounds are really bad, because mouths are dirty." Dr. Pradham looked at him funny and told him that it wasn't a concern when it was his own mouth. I am always infinitely disappointed by by people's lack of knowledge of their own health.
Today is election day, so the only class I have is Tibetan language with Phuntsok, so other than that it is a lazy day and I plan to spend it writing.
Two days ago, Vidhea took us out for dinner to Cafe Mitre. The food was spectacular and the atmosphere was very different from what I have become used to here. The owner and the other people who were there were fantastically entertaining. It was strange being able to chat about American politics with someone who lives on the other side of the world from America yet had very knowledgeable ideas on the topic.
