Just came out of the beauty parlor - don't know if it helped, but after cleaning myself, a good night sleep, breakfast with Gita and then being surrounded by women who messed around with my face, arms, legs, feet, shoulders, back, neck and hands. They ... Read more >

Coby had reserved a fancy hotel for the three weary travelers and that was a good thing. We got here late and when I filled up the bathtub and immersed my (still a bit skinny) body in the warm/hot water, I realised I hadn't felt any hot water or used ... Read more >

Hot tears sting my eyes as I make the 30 meter or so walk through "no man's land" on the border between India and Nepal.   I am feeling my difference profoundly as I walk.  The Nepalese army (?) police (?) guys are scrutinizing me - hard -... Read more >

Meeting my sister at the airport was really nice but only because she was bringing a couple of bottles of decent wine for me. Brotherly love…you just can’t beat it! A few days later I thought I should be sociable, stop flying and spend some time ... Read more >
