It's fascinating and hard to experience life without any language penetration at all, sort of like being a toddler with all the frustration and tearfulness that entails. I was only there a short time and felt overwhelmed.
What you're doing is difficult and amazing considering the lack of infrastructure and the language isues! For what it's worth I'm sure it will be much more fun absorbing, contextualising and looking back on this trip in the future than it is when you're actually doing it :)
Wonderful writing and brilliant images Kerstin. Fascinating. Glad you have found Koba and his place. Your friend's insight about culture shock sounds about right! Looking forward to catching up soon! xx

Yes I’ll no doubt look back on this with nostalgia
