[Tibet]: Day 1 - Kathmandu

The first time I went to Kathmandu was in 2002...with s, before the mbas began. We went here and then to kerala. Later it was during ebc in 2012 I think...we stayed in thamel. We stayed close to thamel now too...in a hotel called Shankar. I met riche in mumbai...seeing a fellow-trekker was good after a long time. Easy to spot with the shoes. funny how she knew peter-s...from schartered...and i met him in boston...how things connect. i remember his maroon sweater...it had a hole. the driver from the airport insisted it was sunday and not saturday...then we figured he just called shaniwar as sunday.

We had a longish briefing from Sangay...it was ok...I remember sitting and drinking a lot of water.

anyway...the group met...i met d...mm after a long time...kumr after wow really long...night we went to shop...then ate at a hot-pot chinese place. the lady didn't speak anything other than chinese and she accepted only yuan. this was still thamel! something she said...samo-samo...it was funny. it just was a wonderful night...unexpected, human.
