Location coordinates Nepali style

Today is the day I'm going to take a train to London to fly out tomorrow. Yesterday I wrote to the Nepali organisation again to get my placement details for voluntary work. I taught that maybe if I say, that I'm leaving the country tomorrow, would motivate them to give an answer. And they did! Now I know exactly that I will be placed in Lamjung district. This narrows it down to 1692 km2. Altitude ranges between 350-8162m so I might be in the jungle riding an elephant to school or freezing my ass off somewhere in the Himalayas. But he said all minor details will be explained during the orientation seminar in Kathmandu. I had also asked where and when should I come on the 7th Nov for the seminar. He gave an address (!) and time coordinates 11am to 3pm. This attitude to time and precision will be fun and something to get used to (and I have hanged out with Ecuadorians and Colombians quite a lot).
