Hardware Store Shopping in Surkhet….

15 Jul

I finally figured out why Uncle Ed keeps coming back. You might think it’s the kids (mostly it is), but I saw a whole new side of adventure with him yesterday shopping for a few simple hardware items.

Our list; ladder, screw eye hooks, dust pan, coat hook and a toilet seat. Seems simple right, well not in Surkhet. Every place we go I tried to explain these item with my small amount of Nepali mixed with English. Most people look at us like we are crazy, but every once in a while we strike gold. The hunt for the items is exciting and sort of like treasure hunting.

We ended up with; a coat hook, toilet seat, dust pan and screw eye hooks. 4 out of 5 is pretty good for this place.

The Rainbows here are always a bright surprise!
