We have a friend who's gone back home for a visit. He returned to Nepal leaving Vancouver just last week. Now, we've read about continuing troubles there at
Google News. There was a daytime curfew imposed. Even phones were cut off to prevent demonstrators and protestors from organizing support for a return to democracy. We hope he and his family can stay out of way of those protesting.
Long before we met Jiwan, we travelled on a short vacation to Nepal. It was almost exactly thirteen years ago. We've been lots of places but travelling there will not be easily forgotten.
Cities have a way of changing quickly, I'm sure. Here's a scan of an old photo showing the crowds in Katmandu.
