On the Internet At Last!

Internet access in Nepal is dicey at best, and getting to my blog in the past week has been harrowing. I will post what I can, but I might get kicked off at any moment.

My plane ride to Kathmandu was 3 days long, although it seemed more like one continuous day. I finally made it! I expected to spend 3 days in the capital city, because that's how long it took the previous instructors to get through the paperwork. My boss picked me up at the hotel and took me to the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal offices, and walked me through the process - it took about 5 minutes. Shivendar is a man with connections.

That afternoon, he had his driver take me down the scenic and depressing road to Bharatpur. It is very beautiful here, if you don't look at the squalor some are forced to live. The himalayas are everything you would expect.
