Kathmandu
Again, not much to update about. We’ve been in Kathmandu since Tuesday, when we took one of those always-fun 3rd world bus trips. We were on a tourist bus this time, which made things more comfortable. There was no livestock on the bus, no one on the roof and the bus stopped at tourist places to eat, not local roadside diners (which are scary–some of those places are super dirty). It made things less interesting, but better overall.
Since, we’ve done some souvenir shopping and not much else. Kathmandu has some of the best cultural sites in all of Nepal, one of which is one of the holiest sites in all of Hinduism, but we’ve yet to visit them. We’ve shamefully stayed hidden in the tourist quarter of Thamel and not yet ventured out. Today, however, that will change. We’re planning on walking to the site I mentioned above. Details to follow.
Other than that, we’ve been gearing up for our trip to Thailand. We’ve made reservations, booked airline tickets and generally gotten everything in place for a week on the beach in Phuket. It’s going to be quite a change from Nepal. Phuket is one of the major beach/party destinations in Thailand, so we’ll go from 3rd world to neon lights in 2 days. I’m looking forward to it, but I’m glad Steve will be there to show us around.

Thanks for writing about this. There’s a mass of great tech information on the internet. You’ve got a lot of that info here on your web site. I’m impressed – I try to keep a couple blogs pretty on-going, but it’s a struggle sometimes. You’ve done a solid job with this one. How do you do it?
Hi I reckon the information posted on your blog site is exceptional, I have book marked you =D
