Finally, after almost four weeks, I am heading out on
Wednesday at 5am for Zanskar Valley to start the field component of my
research. It will take us 2 days of
travel to reach Padum, the main town in Zanskar. I will be travelling and working with K.C., the
field manager for that region. He will
be my interviewer and translator at the 8 different villages where we will
survey. I am very excited to finally be
making headway on my project but also a tidbit nervous that it could go
horribly awry, especially since this is my first go at research of this kind
and the pre-field time here has looked completely different than what I was
hoping for. Oh dear!
I will be staying with K.C. and his family for the 2 weeks I
will be there and then we will both head back on July 9th. From what I hear, Internet access is sparse
but I will document as much as possible and update the blog when I can.

Prayers and good thoughts would be greatly welcome and
appreciated!
