Brig Ma'am - I got the book as a gift but haven't opened it up yet. Will check it out. What's next on your reading list? Jack - True, innit? I have my own set of complaints about the city which are not too far off from those frequently mentioned by many people . But at the same time, I am a bit tired of hearing all this whining about what is wrong with Kathmandu and what is wrong with Nepal from people who are going to do nothing to fix it. Anyways, let's not go down that path now it's for another place and another time... he he. Please post more pictures if you have them (might need to re-size them a bit if you know how to)
