After 10 days through Tibet, Selma, Esther and I arrive in our newest country – Nepal! I only have a short 2 and a half days here so I must move quickly. I explore the old quarter, experience some traditional music and am lucky to meet up with some friends from back home.
Living in an area where there are few overhead wires, it always catches my attention when the streets are strewn with wires. Hopefully my backpack will not be a large as the Nepalese one! Definitely won’t be the size of a fridge! India looks chaotic to say the least, what a shock coming from Tibet and Nepal to India.
Hey Brock, Was wondering when this little gem would make an appearance. In case you were wondering Lesley had many Yak encounters in the mountains but she never got taken out – no “Yak Attack”. The videos of Kat brought back many memories as did your brief India teaser. I thought I had it rough there – and I was only there for 3 weeks.
I’m loving the hostel roomies music, I never knew I wanted to travel to Nepal till now- thanks Brock : )
@Teresa – Yes it was certainly a shock to the system. The India videos are turning out great if I may say so myself. And no, you will be buying a new bag at the airport and leaving some stuff behind if you walk through the gate with a bag like the Nepalese man.
@Alex – So glad to have met up with you and thank you for the update on the ‘Yak Attacks’. I am relieved. I am sure the coming India videos will take you for another walk down memory lane.
@Tanya – Well if you go, let me know – I’ll join you. Want to meet me in Argentina instead? And that wasn’t my hostel room it was this random room in a random building the owner brought me to after we had some tea on the street.
I remember those rocky, bumpy, and zig-zaggy roads!
TIP TO TRAVELLERS: if you think you might experience road/car/motion sickness, it’s great to bring along Ginger candies (make sure they’re real ginger, not just flavouring). Ginger is great for motion sickness.
If you’re in Canada, GRAVOL makes a great ginger candy that kept my lunch down on more than a few bus, ship, and car rides!
@Darren – Great tip Darren. Thankfully I haven’t had to make use of those kind of pills yes, but they are ready and waiting just in case.
