Still in Kathmandu ...

... for maybe 11 more days! All Thai Airways flights from Kathmandu to Bangkok are full until 17th of May. To get seats on this day, we would have to upgrade to business class - 150 USD each person. Do I have to say more?

Yesterday and today we were at the airport for about 3 hours (standby) and hoped for enough cancellations to get seats. Without success. Tomorrow we will go to the Thai town office and book the business class flight. It does not make sense to sit at the airport for 3 hours a day every day to get seats MAYBE.

To write about something more nice:
We met a guy from Bavaria (Bayern) called Charly - or Karl. A funny man who wants to raise (zuechten) snakes in India to sell their poison. Somehow he found out that there is a large market for snake poison to produce antidote (Gegengift). He said that more than 50000 people die every year in India because of snake attacks (which is a very small number compared to Indias population...).
Anyway, it was nice so speak to someone in German, especially a man from Bavaria, which is almost like Austria ;)
