Don't forget to check out websites for 'whats on' in your home town because you might get an opportunity to experience something you didn't think you'd get a chance and it may whet your appetite for the real thing.
Today I got to do that, Fed Square in Melbourne played host to the Nepal Festival, a cultural experience highlighting music, crafts, dance and food from Nepal.
Nepal is already on my to-do list, and after eating some great food and listening to music and watching some great performers it only enhanced my desire to see and experience the country and it's people.
