Experiencing old-world Nepal
2008-11-21 03:47:00 ... at Dwarika Hotel.Okay, I didn't actually stay there but I did dine there on one occasion with my colleagues. After a 30-min ride from Hotel Yak and Yeti, where we were staying, we were dropped off in the street amidst the hustle-bustle of the evening rush hour. It felt odd that we were standing out there in the biting cold of the night and in front of a nondescript doorway. We reluctantly stepped in, not knowing whether we were in the right place at all. Once inside, we were all surprised at what we saw! It felt like I was in a different world. Dwarika is a beautiful product of a restoration effort spanning 25-30 years. Built of brick and having ornate architectural bits and pieces added (hand-carved windows, door frames, pillars, etc.), all of which were obtained when old traditional buildings were torn down long ago. Additional wood carvings on the windows, the ceramic sculptures, as well as the pottery were all made in a workshop inside the premises. The result is a gorgeous...
Maoists Are Ruling Nepal
2008-11-02 09:59:00 The news has been pretty confusing for a long time coming out of Nepal. The Nepalese Maoists laid down their guns and gave up armed struggle for a variety of reasons, after a brutal civil war in which 13,000 people were killed, 10,000 of them by the security forces.The Maoists decided to try to seek power by peaceful means. They seem to have won about 1/3 of the vote in the nation's first real democratic elections. They got into power, apparently in a coalition with some other parties.They are now part of a ruling coalition in Nepal. One of the first things this new government did was to get rid of the Nepalese monarchy. The next agenda was to call for a Constituent Assembly, apparently in order to rewrite the Constitution. This was their program toward the end of the war - an end to monarchy, a constituent assembly, a true multiparty democracy with the right to dissent.I've been reading quite a few interview with these guys, especially with their leader, Prachandra. He has taken ...

Litratong Pinoy #009 : Mithi (Wish)
2008-08-22 04:46:00 Sa uulitin, nais ko pong ihabol ang aking litrato para sa linggong ito. Ang tema ngayong linggo ay mithi, o wish, sa wikang Filipino. Kaya naman ito po ang aking naisipang isali:Bata pa ako ay talagang pinangarap ko nang makita ng malapitan ang Mt. Everest na siyang tinaguriang pinakamataas na bundok sa buong mundo. Kung hindi naman ito posible ay kahit na lamang sa paanan nito. Natupad naman ang minimithi kong ito nuong nakaraang Disyembre nang ako ay pumunta ng Nepal para sa isang conference. Hindi man ako nakasama sa mga duon sa chartered flight papuntang tuktok mismo, nakita ko naman ito mula sa bintana ng eroplanong sinakyan ko pauwi. Tulad ng Mayon Volcano, hindi basta-basta nagpapakita ang Mt. Everest, kaya dyan sa litrato ang tuktok nito ay nakabalot sa ulap. Sayang, ano po? Pero teka, yan nga ba ang Mt. Everest? Kayo na po ang humusga dahil ako man ay nalilito kung alin dyan ang bundok na pakay ko *lol*Sana sa susunod, makapunta naman ako sa Bhutan, Tibet at Mongolia. Iyan...

Nepal To Abolish Monarchy
2008-05-26 15:39:00 The Nepal monarchy is not expected to be part of the nation’s ruling elite much longer than a few weeks as a newly elected Assembly meets to formally end the kingdom of Nepal which has been in existence for 239 years and proclaim a republic. The government has banned all demonstrations in and around the royal palace and the private homes of King Gyanendra in order to avoid any incident of violence against him by a population which has grown to distrust his rule. The radical Maoists won a surprise election in April during which they campaigned to remove the king. However, Dinanath Sharma, a senior leader of the Maoists said “we have urged the people to come to the st reets on that day(voting to abolish the monarchy) to celebrate the republic day.’ The Maoists have a day of celebration but then must turn to many problems that will face the new republic including dealing wth poverty and creating a viable democracy.
