I was never willing to deal with the hassle of the post office, so for years, I just told people I couldn't receive physical mail in Nepal. But now reading your description, it sounds as if the system is more efficient and ultimately effective than anything I'd been led to expect! Congratulations on the new dress. Wear it to Pauline's some time and send photos. :)
Totally understandable that you wouldn't want to navigate that! And while I chuckled at your use of the words "efficient" and "effective" to describe it, underneath some surface chaos it ultimately really is a system that--somehow--works.
