Blogging from Kathmandu, Nepal
2007-12-16 16:11:00 Namaste!It's very, very cold here in Kathmandu with temperature of about 9C. The moment I stepped out of the plane, the cool breeze sent shivers to my spine. While going through the immigration formalities to finding the hotel service vehicle, I had goosebumps all over and I feel my insides shuddering. Sad to say, R, I didn't get a window seat. I was in the middle row. I was told that when going to Kathmandu, one should take seats on the right side of the plane because that's where Mount Everest can be seen. Drat. Everyone had exactly the same thing in their minds.Just about 30mins from landing, and as if on cue, the plane tilted to the right because passengers on the left side of the plane vacated their seats and spilled on the aisle towards the right of the plane. That's when I realized that Mount Everest is in plain sight. I already missed a window seat so I told myself not to be outdone and go take a peep of the peak. I had to kick and fight and bite and scratch my way throu...
