.bluebus: it's funny, but when you guys left that apartment, some guys rented it until may 98. They left and I then rented it with two other friends of mine, starting August 98 until May 2000. We used the bigger room as our bedroom, and the smaller room (facing Banepa side) as our study room. As of the "sahu", no, he did not check our SLC certificate. Probably because we were from Biratnagar, and not from KTM. "mama gwanch" was there when we cam ein on Aug 98, but left after a month or so. The sahu then hired a guy called "ramchandra", who I found later, had in fact worked in the Phulbari motel as a cook for a year or so before quitting, and leaving Dhulikhel altogether. He then came back to 28 kilo to work at Phulbari, but I think they would not hire him again, so our "sahu" being a generous and good guy that he is, hired him to cook for us at lambda/2. Well, that was a bit of a history. Hope you had fun at lambda/2.
