Hi, Hana! Finally, I am going to Nepal - Kath and Pokhara. Your blog just makes me more excited. Nice article, you should be a journalist as well. Funny and engaging.

nepal is amazing
dust almost everywhere, but what the ....!!! Pokhara was a different experience altogether. We went up to hill at 5:30 in the morning to watch the sun rise over snowcapped mountains of the annapurna range. A not to be missed experience. It was awesome--- watching a flurry of colors till 7:30 am, sipping masala milk tea, which was piping hot. Needed for the verrrrrrry cold morning.

Oh, my
Dear me, what a scare. That's my most dreaded nightmare----running out of cash and plastics not working! You're a brave girl. I assume everything worked out in the end ;-) Keep writing.
