Football here is that sport where you kick a ball around. The real football, however, is the sport where you throw and kick the ball the around. And there’s nothing like a little Saturday college football. Unless, of course, its Sunday. I woke up at 5:30 this morning (Sunday) and a [...]
I also hate ants. Especially when you pour yourself a bowl of cereal, pour in the milk, and suddenly all the ants come scrambling out, running for their lives. They’re everywhere. No food is safe.
I hate roosters. Especially the one that has been waking me up at 5:30 am every morning for the past few months. Why is it up at 5:30 am? It doesn’t do anything; probably just sits in a cage all day, so why must it feel the need to be up at [...]
As promised here are my pics from Kathmandu Durbar Square. I visited there awhile back, but failed to post anything. This was right before my visit to Pokhara, however, so it was a busy few weeks. Better late than never!
We started at the Kumari Ghar where the Kumari Living Goddess lives. [...]
I posted this video a year ago, before I came here. When I first saw it, I had no idea what any of it was or where it was, or what any of it meant. Now, however, I can tell you exactly where each scene was shot; Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhu, Rato Machhindranath, [...]
Where is my mind these days? I’ve always had problems concentrating, and these days its getting worse. Maybe its an iron deficiency. I do hate broccoli after all, but I really think its because my time in Nepal is growing short.
In two months time I’ll be heading home. Where has the [...]
Not much going lately. I’ve been busy trying to tie up loose ends before I head home in two months. Two months will go quick. Quicker than a jackrabbit running from a rattlesnake. I have spent much of my time lately in front of my computer and haven’t been out much. [...]
Two weeks ago I ventured west to Pokhara. It is the “resort” area of Nepal. Tourists never stay in Kathmandu, they only use it as the gate to Nepal. Once here, they go trekking and to Pokhara. Its a beautiful area, without the congestion and pollution of Kathmandu. It sits [...]
So I’m not going to Sagarmatha. After nearly 24 hours waiting at the airport (spread over 4 days), getting up at 4:45 every morning to get to the airport by 5:45, and sitting there until 11:30 or so to hear that the flight has been canceled due to weather, our window of travel has [...]
Hello all. I returned from Pokhara yesterday. Beautiful part of the country. Absolutely beautiful. I have plenty of stories and plenty of pictures, but they will have to wait a few weeks. I’m heading out again tomorrow for Sagarmatha. It will take a couple weeks to get there and [...]
