Dannah, Good job mate. Cheers. Thanks for the info. My cousin served with 10th Gurkhas, Colonel Niven's regiment before it got renamed and amalgamated with my own, 7th Gurkhas. Yes, he does actually know quite a bit of the country and its people. More than you and I! About my travel journals. Have written a little during when I was in Central America, West Africa and the Far East. Quite a bit of typing up/trimming to do though before I can share them with you lot but we'll see. First day in office after Dashain office - I am snowed under as you can imagine. Good luck with your studies.
