This is the fifth post in a series of photos entitled Faces and Places. I am using the tag #facesandplaces in all the posts in this series, and would love for you to use this same tag to share your portraits and experiences of various cultures around the world.
# 

These photos were taken during my 2-month trip to Nepal last year, some in the Children's Home and school where I worked to continue implementing a Montessori program, some simply in the streets of Kathmandu where there is an abundance of life and compelling moments to capture. I hope you enjoy these portraits:

**Sweet neighbor lady I often found talking with friends in the street leading back to the children's home. We laughed a lot one day when she explained to me the polite Nepali way of pointing at someone: simply extend your hand upwards, or lift your chin in a quick motion and say "Ooh"!**

**Learning to adapt to the culture in Nepal is a lot of fun. Nepali are unbelievably welcoming and generous people - always up for a good laugh.**
