Ok - first time, gmail did not let me log in. Second try it worked, but then a man came, plugged an USB stick and windows smashed me with a blue screen. Now I use another PC, and it seems to work.
There is so much to say that I do not know where to start.
The second time I had to use money in Nepal - approximately 1 hour after we arrived at the air port - somebody tried to trick me. But because I pay very much attention on everything, I recognized that 25 Euro must be more than 1500 Rupies. In the end I got 2100.
Today is New Year in Nepal, 2064. We discovered that yesterday at about 0900 in the evening. A young drunken Nepalese started talking to us. He recommended a location called Rox Bar for having a party. We preferred to go to Thamel, an area in Kathmandu where the most tourists are. It was not very spectacular because we missed to talk to the two european looking ladies. So we drove home at about midnight - after three beer (one bottle of beer contains 650ml - about 80 Rupies).
We are planning to do a Trekking Tour in the Langtang valley for about 10 days. The highest place we could reach is about 5000 meters above sea level - higher than you can get in Austria - YEEEHAW ;) It will cost about 30 USD per day (including guide, accommodation, food, equipment, bus, ... nearly everything except alcohol and chocolate).
We are now staying in the Hotel Eden near Freak Street for 400 Rupies per day (together). The shower is cold, but that is not a problem. We are a bit afraid of the TV set cable, which looks very unprofessional.
The traffic in the city is very crazy. We soon discovered that they drive on the left side of the street. And they do not use traffic rules. The only rule is: use your horn! But until now we did not see any car accident... strange.
Sometimes it is very exhausting to get away from all the street-sellers. They can be very brash. One guy painted us a red point to the forehead and lay some flowers on our head. I gave him 100 Rupies. 2 minutes later we noticed that he was following us. Johannes told him that the 100 NPR were for both of us, but he continued following us until we entered the Taxi.
In Nepal, it is now 0615 pm. In the evening we are planning, which company we want to do the trekking with (we have got 2 offers). Maybe we will go to Thamel again and try to have fun at some party. And try to talk to tourist ladies ;)
So, that should be enough information for the first time!
Photos will follow as soon as we find a serious looking Internet Cafe equipped with fast internet.
