Going to Kathmandu!!

Not a big Bob Seger fan, but have been singing the chorus to that song ever since I booked my ticket to Nepal 3 weeks ago.

Tall mountains, great scenery, clean air, great motorcycling, cheap, and also exotic as hell.....should be awesome, I have 14 full days on the ground and have been looking forward to this greatly. Last time I tried going there in 2006 there was a violet Maoist overthrow taking place so I had to bail; but they won in 2008 and have calmed the place down and it's open for tourism once again.

Not so fond of the "load-shedding", which means that no one place gets more than 10 hours of electricity per day.....their power grid is all fucked up and very weak....but besides that it will be cool, hell it will be a pleasure to be AWAY from the internet for a couple weeks!

cheers lads, have fun and keep it real :good:

Hound of Baskervilles, I think you must be talking about acetazolamide (Diamox - brand name). Iodine is used for protecting the thyroid in case of radiation exposure, as what happened in Japan.

JD, have a great trip, some of my friends used to do the trek to Everest base camp before the problems and loved it.
