Well, people, collect your bet money- we are alive and well back in Kathmandu and still have most of our fingers and toes. And did we mention we are now paying 25 rupees per hour for internet!? Wow! This will still be a quick post as we have a lot of ... Read more >

Bloody cold day. Made getting out of bed really hard, even if I only have a shitty blanket covering me. The cold shower was an experience I never want to go through again, dont care how badly I smell. Slow office day as the printer was goign haywire.... Read more >

Saturday - a day off! With the free time I headed out to Patan, a suburb of Kathmandu. Gathering up enough nerve to use the public buses was hard, but I was determined to save paying 2 dollars for a taxi. It became even harder when I reached the bus ... Read more >

With not a lot to do at the office today, i just sat around for a while chatting. We had planned to travel to all the hotels to negotiate rates, but there had been a problem with two clients staying in Kathmandu. Apparently they wanted a car with air-... Read more >

A very slow start today as I had a horrible cold the night before. Made sleeping difficult, so I struggled to get out of bed. After crawling to a breakfast of "Special Oat Porridge" (I was brave) and toast, it was late enough in the day for ... Read more >

Today I impressed my fellow staff with a few phrases of Nepali like "how are you". Unfortunately I hadn't read as far as what the answers meant, so I had no idea if they were good or bad. I just nodded my head and said thats good to hear. ... Read more >

Today, being the 14th day and all, marks a whole fortnight of me being away from good ol' Aus! In a few weeks I'll probably look back and laugh, but it feels like a bit of a landmark. Not a great deal happened today. Somehow I have accummulated a vast ... Read more >

I'm getting pretty damn sick of power shortages. They are always happening at the most inconvenient times; the first three hours after i get up and the three hours before bed. Meaning showers are harder in the dark (bad enough having them cold) and no ... Read more >

Saturday is a public holiday, so again I was left to fend for myself. After a late start I went on a long walk to Durbar Square and back. Saw several temples of course, but the funny thing is the Nepali's leave priceless artifacts like statues or carvings ... Read more >

Or 11286 feet, for those of you still using that antiquated customary system. We are in Namche Bazar, just a stone's throw away from the world's tallest... internet cafes. That is why they charge $10 an hour and also why this post will be very short.... Read more >

Today's introduction to Nepal was much nicer and a hell of a lot less scary than last night. I woke early due to jet lag and uncertainty of when Pippa would be picking me up. It was freezing cold, but my light had stopped flashing. I soon found out that ... Read more >

Khan el Khalili market lights up and dresses at its best at night, inviting to sit down and relax with a shisha and a karkade -hibiscus water- giving the feeling that you are traveling over time, contemplating on the background folkloric music and people laughing. This is Egypt, unveiled.
