Starting today, I'll be posting live from Kathmandu! We are having a warming trend, so the weather is perfect.
Back to the land of Tibetan grannies walking their Lhasa Apsos while circumnavigating the holy Boudhanath Stupa.
Boudha stupa view from a friend's house.
While waiting for the cyber cafe to open, sitting on a bench reading the Republica Newspaper, an old friend joined me - a black and white mother dog that I have known for years. After a quick scratch behind the ears, she jumped up on the bench and proceeded to guard me from all those Tibetan Mastiff bullies sniffing at her, keeping me from petting them! Wish I had a photo of her with me. She is a sweet dog, and I got more than one smile from the throngs of people passing by as she nuzzled and defended me at the same time.
After a grueling 15-hour plane ride in the worst seat possible, I arrived in Hong Kong to find unseasonably hot weather. Had a 10-hour layover, spent eating, reading, drinking and enjoying this view from the United Red Carpet Club. Got a shower, new food arrived often, good Shiraz from Australia, free wifi... who could ask for more.
The clouds, the mountains, the ships, the high rises, the planes, the people scurrying by on the people movers -- all from a bird's eye view while enjoying the amenities.
If you would like to order your very own Danger Dog, Enlightened Cat, or Super Dogs, now is the time. Send me a file of your pet and I will give the photo to at least 3 different Nepali painters, giving you a choice of 3, and 3 Nepali signboard artists work. You pay nothing until I get back in early December, and only if you like one of the paintings.
