This (post title) is one of my favourite facts about Nepal, courtesy of Wikipedia. Today I took my first internal flights as Philip and I flew to Bhairahawa where several other EBT projects are located. The town is further East and on the border with India and much hotter than up here. I can happily report that its airport is paved and I had an enjoyable flight. I flew Yeti Airlines which is just the best name (there is also a Buddha Air).
The sticker above was attached to the seat in front of me and the statement in the middle made me chuckle. I can't really work out what is intended by it - any suggestions please let me know.
There is a refuge out here which is much smaller, and for younger children and another mosaic workshop. There are two British artist volunteers out here and they really have a free rein to develop new designs and products and tackle much larger projects than the tourist-oriented work in Kathmandu. At the moment they are planning to cover a life-size statue of a cow in mosaics - I'll post a photo once it's completed.
I'm now planning an early night to try and go to an aerobics class at a near-by gym tomorrow. It starts at 6.30. I'm not hugely optimistic that this is a realistic goal.
