I said I'd try to update this as much as I can and at only 60rupees/hour (about 50p) there's no excuse. It's pretty hot here, really humid cos we've just got the end of the monsoon but hopefully it'll dry up and cool down soonish.
Still trying to get used to things here and a greasy wheat flat bread thing for breakfast didn't go down so well but Basant is taking us to a Japanese restuarant for lunch so sould be excelllent. Off to visit the village this afternoon to get a feel for thin...
Namaste, October 5th:After a short stop in the Arab Emirates we arrived in Kathmandu at 14:30 local time. I stay in hotel Utse, which is a tibetan run hotel, in the Thamel area. In the evening we saw the movie "Seven years in Tibet" and had a beer afterwards. October 6th: in the morning I had a meeting from the travelagency where I booked my flight and hotel but it wasn't that interesting. In the afternoon I visited Bhaktapur with some other tourists by local bus. Bhaktapur, literally "City o...

October 21st: I arrived in Kathmandu at 16:00 pm and took a standard deluxe room in Hotel Utse for $19. After a good shower I took the route to Kathmandu guesthouse to have a dinner. October 22nd: After my breakfast at Yum Yum I walked to the Royal Palace. On the way back I visited Himalayan Encounters to get a refund for the rafting trip I couldn't make. They refunded me $ 80 and with a lot of rupees richer I returned to my hotel to have some sunbathing in the roofgarden. October 23rd: a rel...

I am not quite too sure what to expect in Nepal...except what i have heard, lovely people and beautiful scenery. I stepped off the plane after a short 1 1/2 hr flight into a small airport, paid for my visa on arrival, grabbed a taxi and headed to the tourist bit of Kathmandu called Thamel where all the hotels are. I got a good vibe right away in that short taxi ride which was reassuring.
I got myself somewhat acquainted with the area in the afternoon i arrived. Thamel itself is tourist...
Staying at the Hotel Utse in Katmandu. It is run by Tibetans. Apparently, a large population of displaced Tibetans live in Nepal. It is approximately 50% Buddhist here and 50% Hindu and some Muslim too. Katmandu reminds me quite a bit of Central American in terms of its development and infrastructure. The people are so very nice. My travel agent, Jeevan, met me at the airport. Thank goodness because there would have been about 20 Nepalese men surrounding me trying to carry my bag for a tip of...

... across a stupa or a pagoda temple. Dubar square was amazing, its basically a huge square with loads of different temples to different gods. The one that was most shocking was the temple of the living godess were a 3 year old girl was chosen as the holy godess and lives there, she cannot set foot on the ground or she will loose her powers so she basically just lives in this temple until she reaches puberty and then they will find another girl to replace ...

... to get as many kids in as possible. This school is new and only has grades KG to 3. I'll tell you what happened to his much larger school during the Maoist conflict. He used to have a school with 250 children.<br> <br>Later, we had great food - Mo-Mo's in soup, and lots of yummy breads, some of which were sweet. I'm addicted to the multitude of breads here. Mmmm.<br> <br>Then we did a lot of work on "The Project." I will fill everyone in later on, when the ...

... it in.<br> <br> All of this input, good, bad, insane and calm, in less than a week...<br> <br> Today I drop off the toys and clothes that were donated by Ray and Adele and some which I bought, or my mom found in my stash of old toys and doll's clothes from when I was a child. From one child to another. From baby Kai and the childhood version of me, the babies and the toddlers at the orphanage will get a few outfits and some toys, and if I get to work there today, some much needed ...

... one night! I had cheese and biscuits to protect. <br><br>We returned to a place back down the valley called Bamboo, and encountered rats again. This time I was awoken in the middle of the night with one sitting on my head! Ugh! We headed down a bit more then started the big climb up to Tholu Syabru. A nice night, cold, but clear, and on up through the forest to Cholong Pati for tea, then the wonderful hotel in Laurebina Yak. A German couple ...

... We actually saw people being crmated here. As we walked along the river Leon noticed people were watching something on the other side. So we sat down to have a look and got the shock of our lifes when we saw feet hanging out of a cloth that was being burnt on a fire. We didn't stay around to see anymore!! We did run some holy gurus so they called themselves!!! Leon had his photo taken with them!!!<br>
