After a weekend in London, and then about 12 hours on a plane, I am now 11 hours and 45 minutes away from the Central Standard Time Zone. Not really sure why the 45 minutes, but hey.
I flew Qatar Airways in to Doha, Qatar, had a three-hour layover and then flew QA again to Kathmandu. The visa process was a bit of a pain in the ass, as everyone that gets off the plane flocks to these 9 or 10 tables lined up along a wall with information to fill out. It took us a while to find the right sheets, and as I filled out my visa form I realized I had left my passport-size photos in the bad I had checked. Fortunately, they take pictures there, so I exchanged my Canadian $20 bill for 1145 Nepalese rupees and got my picture taken there
Anyway, I am now getting booted out of the internet cafe. We just finished eating here in the Thamel area of Kathmandu, a somewhat touristy area. Our hostel is here, but tomorrow we head out to a training village, so I won't be able to post for a couple of weeks. May get time tomorrow, though.
Anyway, if you wanna check out where I'm at now... I didn't have my camera... but here
