New friends in Pokhara

Eliza is from South Korea. We were on the same bus from Kathmandu going to Pokhara. I saw on the streets with a bunch of people and I went over to talk to them. She introduced me to Dolma whom she's visiting. Dolma was a refugee from Tibet, came to Nepal when she was seven, the same year the Dalai Lama left Llhasa, 1959. She came with her mother who passed away when she was 30, she was befriended by a group of Christians and converted to Christianity. Today she runs a home and school for Tibetan children. Eliza works for Qatar Airways in Doha. We had a great time together.
