The Maos!

Nepal is a country with many problems, and mostly they are blamed on "the Mouse". At least thats what it sounds like - Nepali's seem to be unable to pronounce the word "Maoist", " without it sounding like "mouse". For some time I was under the illusion that there actually was some kind of giant mouse stalking the land bringing terror, destruction and famine.
