I'm in Nepal

So far, I like Nepal a lot. I've only been here a few hours, but people are nice and the food is good. Even the salespeople don't pressure you! I'm staying in a tiny guest house on the edge of the tourist ghetto. It's not fancy, but it's cheap and I won't get bedbugs (but I have my sleepsack, just in case).

Kathmandu has fuel shortages right now (a road blockage by the Maoists), so it'll be interesting to see how I'm going to get around the country to see the sites. Tonight I saw people waiting in lines blocks long to get fuel.

You'll note that any post I may will likely be short and sloppy. The internet here is sloooow, and I am more interested in doing things to write about than tapping away at a keyboard.
