we are quite impressed with the technology here in Nepal, Cellphones with many people and the contrast of these colourful holy men.
Today is a drizzle so we haven't seen Everest yet...
Last night was the big cricket game between India and Pakistan, something like the last game of the Stanley Cup. Alan was relaxing in the room as India was dismissed after 158 runs. Outside our room across the garden there was a huge roar. Alan thought they were watching the cricket match but when he went to join them to get the rules of cricket explained, he discovered they were a group of Early Response Team Instructors ( police, army, firemen) from Bangladesh, Nepal, Philippines and India celebrating the completion of their course. They were not watching cricket but in the middle of Kareoke. He was given a beer and welcomed to join them. After few beers and an hour or so, Susan went to find that Alan was very much indulged. YELLOW SUBMARINE was a big hit. we were invited to join them for dinner. Wonderful people and very fun loving. Great party!
We have invitations to visit Bangladesh but it is not on our itinerary.
Took a taxi down town this morning and walked outside the regular tourist areas to see how people live. we were pleased that we had no hassel. Less intense here than India and a little cleaner.
Now that cricket is over, politics will resume.
Bye for now.
