... a la cle USB, donc galere.
Apres avoir uploade pas mal de photos sur Hotmail, ai marche jusqu'a l'ambassade chinoise, a 1 ou 2 km de Thamel. Ai collecte mon passeport avec mon visa chinois, ai droit a 30 jours et une entree seulement, mais ca me suffit pour cette premiere experience chinoise, pour 35 dollars au total. C'etait bien facile, beaucoup plus facile que prevu et que ce qu'on lit sur internet.
Direct me suis rendu a une agence de voyages ou j'etais alle mon premier ...

... place de Durbar Square, un the pour moi et oui ca arrive.
Au cours de la journee ai pu prendre pas mal de photos d'enfants et de locaux, trop cool.
Puis rentrons a l'hotel, puis me rends dans des agences pour me renseigner sur les billets d'avion entre Kathmandu et Chengdu en Chine.
Puis un petit mojito au Sam's bar, et ensuite internet, jusqu'a ce que D et H viennent me chercher.

... days paddling down to it. The Geruwa River is another whitewater challenge that runs through the park.

When to Go

The most likely time to see wildlife is after the February burns and before the monsoons start up again in May. Both parks close in May, and reopen at the end of September. October can be hot and lush, November less so, December and January are (comparatively) cold.

... in 1961, which i might have accidentaly sat on!!!!! not many people can say that, most of them being hung for the offence!!!!!
After our mueseum visit we had lunch in a cafe run by Buddhist monks, that really is a first and although it took the better part of 2hrs for our meals, the food was brilliant and welcomed by a load of recent dhal bhat aholics!!!!!!
I have a a whole new love for vegetable momos which is basically like raviolli!!!!
Due to our 2hr ...

... usually in just one restaurant. Hisorically, as traders passed through Kathmandu over the centuries, it has always been known as a place you could get exotic foods. I had Italian, Japanese, Tibetan, American, Indian, more than twice each... though I must admit, I skipped the Nepali. (Not that it isn't good, its just not THAT good, and why settle when you can have whatever you want).

Freak Street- I think most fascinating thing to me was the old 60s ...

... I slowly got to my feet and joined in, much to the pleasure of the other dancers.

I could see it now. Not only would I join this merry band of Dipawali trick or treaters but I would be a valuable asset. What store owner could turn down a group with a ridiculous looking white guy in their midst.

As the song ended I was waiting for the congratulatory high fives and the invitation to go to the ...

... my exploration of the villages.

I keep thinking that I will be like one of those women on “Tribal Wives”. Today Narbin showed me some photos of the villages where I will be staying. He was trying to prepare me for how basic life will be. I am a bit nervous about my ability to communicate but other than that I cannot wait to get there. When I told the lads last night what I was doing they were very impressed. They told me I would be able to hold court over the “ ...

... always happens on a motor bike. Later I found out they got a flat tire while driving and almost drove off the cliff if it wasn't for good driving skills.

A nice young boy kept coming into thehotel room to ask if I needed anything like a drink? food?... a hospital? They all looked at me with worried faces. I know I looked bad but it would take a lot for me to go to a hospital here...

The boy brought me some bread and jam sandwiches with the crusts cut off. I was ...

... we saw them regularly from then on, we never tired of them.

In the evening when it became dark we sat at some tables on a wooden platform over the rushing water and gazed at the bright stars of the Milky Way while moths crowded around the small bulb of my torch.

The next day we were off on our first walk of any length and it was mostly uphill. Travelling along the valley of the river Bhurung, we passed at first through bamboo forests along tracks ...
