jai nepal dude: i was talking in the phone to a friend the other day he said: "well, it is all nice and well in kathmandu. everything is normal. the government offices are working very fast. so it is good for people here. i heard that 20 buses were burnt outside the valley yesterday though. there is no way to know if that is true or not. my home (his home is in the east), there are maoists everywhere, i don't think their activities have receded. i highly doubt it. there is no way of knowing though, i don't want to go home now. it's just too risky." -- if you say that is peace, you are just being very selfish man. peace in kathmandu is not peace in nepal. kathmandu is not nepal.
