Elephant-back jungle safari in Chitwan National Park and getting lost in the medieval city of Bhaktapur

Was soooo fortunate to be far away from screaming oil-country school groups

All you think about is "please don't lay down, please don't lay down."

Quote of the Day

"If you don't want to do something well, it's better not to do it at all. Because if you don't do it well, it will be neither profitable nor pleasurable. And if you are not doing something for profit or pleasure, why would you bother doing it in the first place?"
