Thursday night personal

Weirdest "House Hunters" I've ever seen. A young Parisian businessman has learned how to make cheese and is moving to Nepal to start up a cheese farm outside Kathmandu, Nepal, which entails buying the land, having a house, building a cheese factory, and procuring cows (and possibly also building roads). At this point, he's just looking for the land, which has to face north and be at a certain elevation (to keep the cheese cool) and have a water supply.

Meanwhile he has a Nepali girlfriend who speaks perfect English and has lived in New York City; and he's been learning the Nepali language. (Can't remember where they met.)

At the end of the show, he'd built roads, the cheese factory, a cheese-curing cave, and a barn, and had bought cows and was already making cheese and selling it to the hotels in Kathmandu. (It looked like he was making brie.)

(He bought the farm for $20,000 and is living with his girlfriend in a ramshackle building on the property until they build a new house.)
