Up at the unforgivable hour of 05:30 so that by 05:45 we could be at the airport that didn't open till 06:00 for a flight that didn't leave till 07:00. Man though getting to see Mt. Everest from the air was almost worth it.
God I'm sick of seeing temples and all the other tourist bullshit (some bit of irony was inteneded in this sentence). We've been to one two many places and I've heard "What you offer, I make you real good price" two too many times. It's supposed to only get wose in India.
One source of enjoyment was going into a used bookstore, it's such a great commentary on the (English speaking) people who come to Nepal. Doesn't anyone realize how clich� is it to take On The Road (4 copies) on a trip? Or does everyone else just buy their book at the airport (at least 3 copies of everything that�s been on the bestseller list for the last year). Hopefully it's just the sum of thousands of cathartic signs. Maybe they did realize the clich� and maybe that was the best way to recycle those airport books, the world will never know.
