Nepal Scouts

Well, I have to admonish (ruegen) the Austrian Scout organization (PPOE) a little bit. In their homepages list was no entry of the Nepal Scouts, and "officially" there are no Scouts in Vietnam.
Yesterday we have been to the Nepal Scouts National Headquarter. It was great! They showed us around their Scout museum, we got some Nepal Scout patches and they even told us that we could get accommodation there! Unfortunately they have their meetings at the weekend, so we could only meet some Scout leaders who accidental were at the office when we got there.
We exchanged e-mail adresses. So if any other Scouts want to visit Nepal: tell me, I can give you contact details!

We are not going to make the same mistake twice. So a few minutes ago I wrote an e-mail to the Vietnam Scouts, and we will try to meet them as soon as possible.

Now something about the Thai Airways :)
The whole story began about 2 weeks ago, on April 17th (one day before our Langtang trek started), when we went to the town office for the first time. We were told to come back after the Trek, because we are on the waiting list for the flight on 04.05. to Bangkok. Well, we even tried to call them during the trek but this was not possible. First both phone numbers I got were wrong (and I do not think I made TWO mistakes while copying them). Somehow we managed to get a correct number but even that did not work because their telephone was always busy and they did not hold you on. So we gave that up after 3 days.
Then we came back from the trek. On the next day (29.04.) we went again to the town office. I already posted what happened. Closed. Nobody knows exactly why, nobody can tell you when they open again.
We found out, that our Trekking Agency can also help us with booking flight tickets. So we gave the tickets to them during our 2 days absence for rafting.
After that we were told: "You will get the flight on the 4th of May with 90% chance", but we should go to the town office again on 03.05. in the morning. We did that, and the result was that all flights until 15th of May are full! And we are still on the waiting list for 4th of May. Imagine that we went to their office about ONE WHOLE MONTH before 15.05.! How is that possible?
Well, somehow our Trekking Agency managed that we can talk to a more important man at the town office who could possibly help us in the afternoon. Result: Come back on 04.05. at 9 o'clock.

Now its 0821 ...
