It’s selfish of me to say, but my favourite days in Kathmandu are strike ['bandh'] days, when the chaotic city falls almost completely silent… and nobody offers me hash/tiger balm/trekking first thing in the morning :].
Uh Oh!!
Places to go, people to see, mountains to climb!

Aww, those elephants are cute. The only reason not to give them peanuts is if there’s a peanut shortage. Oh, wait. I think I did hear something about a shortage which is why the price of peanut butter was going up. Oh, well. Maybe hazelnuts will do?

I’ll say there’s a situation. They’re standing like human. Mayhem is bound to break loose. Worst yet, they may become politicians.

I think it was Napoleon – “the army moves on its stomach” He did not pay attention to that when he invaded Russia .
