Woohoo!!
Got my plane tickets today for the rest of the trip...
Mumbai to Cairns,
Sydney to Auckland,
Auckland to Punta Arenas,
and.. for all good things must come to an end..
Buenos Aires to Paris!
OneWorld alliance is the cheapest deal i could find.. still it's a good third of the whole trip budget that went in one day! Ouch!
Today i witnessed a group of Maoists violently harrassing a rickshaw and beating it up.. after stopping some cars and forcing people out of taxis.. really looked like free acts of violence to me.. hard to figure out the why.. if any.
After travelling accross China and Tibet, of course, I wasn't too inclined to favor the Maoists.. but I talk to people and it all looks like the usual crap.. they're coming to "save the people", and in the process, they confiscate land, racket inhabitants, block the roads, beat up or kill people...
The problem is that the king is so unpopular that they look like the only alternative.. and his successor -already said to be a drug dealer- seems even worse..
On the other hand, communists are always good at sweet talking poor people.. and there's a lot of them around of course.. desperate people always tend to go to desperate solutions.
Maoists tell the press they'll be ready to give up weapons "as soon as the country's problems are solved"!.. who can name one country in the world where "the problems are solved"??
Personnaly, i just can't trust these guys..

..is the time it takes to get an Indian VISA from Nepal!!
After taking VISAs for so many countries around the world, this is the most ridiculous procedure i've ever seen! And all the well travelled people around me kept looking at each other, bewildered.. The first one to actually get his VISA today was even applaused by everyone!
I guess it's not the first nor the last time India shows to be the most inefficient country in the world.. but still, everytime it hurts!
The mosquito hell has started and it's not ending anytime soon!!
I'm sure you'd find some stupid scientist to tell you that mosquitos are part of the eco system and the food chain and blah blah blah... I'm telling you: Mosquitos are the most useless nasty evil annoying stupid hateable creatures ever, and if i was president of the world i wouldn't hesitate one second to erradicate them all at once!!
Arjun for president!!
In a heavenly environment..
..you get to teach the most lovely students, and help them learn the basics of english, math, computer manipulation...
..and live with them in the village.. surrounded by rice fields and jungle.. experiencing true nepalese village life, with a most welcoming family..
So please come for a great and rewarding time! (and tell them i sent you!)
