Our guide, Nares, is fluent not only in Nepali and Japanese but also in English, and he was chatting happily with a beautiful Turkish woman sitting next to him, so we joined in! We also told him that a friend of ours runs a cave hotel in Cappadocia, Turkey, and said,Turkey is one of the countries I'd like to visit someday!"And once again, I was blessed with a wonderful connection here♪
