General Observations from Nepal

  • Nepalese people love popcorn – you may even get it before your meal in a restaurant
  • They rarely give you a straight answer… going around the houses is an understatement
  • When you order a dish with chicken, it tends to be always on the bone
  • There clearly cannot be an NCT in operation as most cars are in a heap! We got the same driver three times in a row – he was about 25 stone and he was driving a Suzuki and we were barely able to fit in the back.. the doorman had a right laugh the third time he turned up!!
  • They want to make you happy and say yes to everything
  • Anything goes on the road… drive on whichever side, down the middle, overtake on blind bends etc!
  • Milk tea in Nepal does not mean you take a drop of milk in your black tea – it’s a concoction of half tea half hot milk – don’t do it!!!!
  • All meals are served on cold plates.. arghhh (my Da would have a fit!)
  • There are separate queues at airport security for men and women!

I'm taking some time off work to travel and spend as much time as I can with family and friends all over the world. Creating this blog as a memory of my trips and so you can follow where I'm at and what I'm up to!
