Language

Posted on May 1, 2007 by Patrick

We are moving so quickly that it is entirely unrealistic to learn the local languages.

Mandarin:
Hello — Nie how
Thanks — Shay shay

Tibetan dialect of grasslands
Hello — Too-deh-moe
Thanks — Ta-du-chay

Tibetan dialect of Lhasa
Hello — Ta-she-da-leh
Thanks — Tu-jay-chay

We have Nepalese and Hindi to look forward to.
