Maoists

So, I'm gonna try to update my blog, but I probably won't be able to get all the photos up and stuff til like, well, mid december. I'm heading to a remote Himalayan village (while that description of travel sounds cool, it's actually nothing new anymore. That definitely makes me sound more cool though) soon and won't be back til December, and for now, there are lots of bundhs going on--that's when they shut things down hoping to make a political statement. While the Maoists know how to throw a party (their protests today, complete with live music and food, were described as festivals in the local papers), they get a little annoying when they want everything in the Kathmandu Valley shut down for the TWO DAYS I'm here with internet trying to update you fine folks. Know that I'm trying. xxx
