DC Virus, I really have no idea where to begin in attempting to form a coherent response to your mind numbing logic :-) If I understand you correctly, the fact that we know that the loo cost $2800 is a measure of transparency of HMG's government and hence, ought to stand by and clap loudly instead of being angry? I beg to differ. See, I think that the mere fact that KG the monarch of a country that is consistently ranked as the poorest and where a majority of the population lives on LESS than $1 a day choose to spend 2,800 on building a loo is ample reason for anger. As for your assertion as to "at least he went to these places": quite frankly, he had better!..One does not become a king because he is deserving, but, at the very least, you can show (albeit with much smoke and mirrors and managed crowds) that he cares enough to venture out of the confines of the luxury that surround Narayanhiti. Also, please take time to notice that leaders and cader of Political Parties have also been to the very same areas without requiring $2,800 loos to be built along the way :-)
