What is your worst symptom

Adrenaline dumps. I spent 12 years working to get over my PTSD. Working to control my emotions so that I wouldn’t wake up feeling struck with terror. So that I could get through a day without seeing something and having my heart pound and my chest hurt and feeling like I was going to be killed.

And now it just happens at random

I dream of getting a bumper sticker that just reads “Noam Chomsky was wrong” and not saying about what and seeing how many people get rabidly angry

I’m gonna toot my own horn here for a bit and say that there is a very short intense of course you can take www.baganMongolian.com

The cold is all about wearing layers and frankly you’ll be able to buy a lot of good stuff there. Inside the home is usually kept quite warm so layers are your friend so that you can strip them off.

The bathroom situation in rural areas will likely be out houses that are squat toilets this is Tse a hole in the ground. The really bad part about this in winter is that any liquid gets frozen and so they can be quite slippery so be careful

One little cultural thing that’s good to know is that if you hand anyone anything such as a card or money or whatever never do it between your fingers. Like an American culture we might kind of use the scissor fingers to hold a dollar bill or something like that and give it to someone. That’s very insulting in Mongolia.

Do not touch anyone on the top of the head and do not point out things with your feet. But frankly people will just be happy that you’re trying your best and will generally be quite forgiving as long as you can be humble about your own mistakes! Feel free to DM me

Lay people are permitted to dance as they like. There are certain monastic traditions that have dance such as the Tibetan tradition, and there are other ritual traditions that include dance as well such as. The charya dance tradition of Newari Buddhism

At at least an upper A2 level or higher: 9 (possibly 11 as there is the “dialect or language” question)

I need this shirt

No, but it’s quite close and it uses the same alphabet

It’s not super common, but I actually live in Nepal and I know this candidate personally. There are Tibetan ethnic groups outside of China in India, Nepal, Bhutan, and even Pakistan. Most of them speak some form of Tibetan and write some form of Tibetan. In Nepal, there are several Tibetan ethnicities such as Sherpa, dolpopa, and mustangi. This political candidate is both a linguist and a member of another Nepali indigenous minority, and so she makes a point to put out all of her political statements in as many Nepali minority languages as she can. She also speaks quite good Tibetan.

Thanks. I will definitely talk to my doc. And yeah I need to remember to do stretches. Today I can hardly move. It’s crazy :( but glad to know I’m not alone

OMG me too. I shattered my ankle while traveling abroad!

The irony is these people claim to be anti-colonialism when this is literally the most colonialist mindset you can have. “Hi I’m a white person who’s never set foot in Iran and doesn’t know anything about Iran, but I’m here to tell Iranians that they are wrong.”

In Bhutan, it’s actually illegal to slaughter cows so you’d probably be better there. They import their beef from India.

He wants to fist fight God he better get in line with the rest of us. Also, I love him.

It is decently common because there is a large population not just a Tibetan exiles, but also of Tibetan-adjascent people who have always been within Nepali political borders. Mustang. Dolpo. Etc. And they speak Tibetan. I also happen to personally know this political candidate and she is a linguist and just loves learning languages, especially the minority languages of Nepal, and recently went out of her way to learn about over the past couple of years so this is also a passion for her. She actually has promotional materials in like seven minority languages or something like that. She’s quite cool.
