As with all trips you meet lots of lovely people who become a big part of the memory so I thought it would be good to introduce you to some of the important Nepali guys.
Top is the main man Ram who guided us round the circuit warning us of the ever present dangers at all teahouses and bakeries around the circuit other than those which he took us to (where they kindly gave him free food) as well as the absolute dangers to be found in all dogs, mules, donkeys, spiders...
From left to right the first is a mistake post but I have no idea how to remove pictures once they are up but it goes to show the size of a westerner vis a vis that of the average Nepali who as you will see is carrying the weak westerner's bag. In red trousers we have 'Calvin Klein' so called because of his incredible good looks - cheek bones to die for and eyes you can sink in - sadly he didn't speak a word of English and was 20.
Next is Paksang without whom I would never have got to know Nepali folk music (oh yes you will all listen to it and love it) - he is unable to not smile and is the fittest human I have ever met - tried for the Ghurkas and probably didn't get in because he is too good a human being.
Finally Lila. I love Lila a lot. The only problem being that our mutual language comprehension needs to be worked on. It is hard to describe him but he is incredibly kind, unintentionally funny and about as bad as me at pool.
