I was like that the first time I went to Nepal just after 9/11. I remember landing at KTM airport and getting a taxi into Thamel the tourist part of Kathmandu do. within 15 mins I was thinking what the fuck have I done as I’ve never seen so much poverty and I was booked to stay there for 3 months. Once i left KTM and went to Pokhara all those feelings went away I started to make friends with the locals. It’s the same as India at first it’s difficult but after a while you get used to it. And you soon realise what an amazing country it is. It’s got everything really. The Himalayas in the north the deserts of Rajasthan to the beaches of Goa & Kerala.

    Sojo in Oxford is the best Chinese food I’ve eaten.

    I went to Amritsar & the golden temple a few years ago. I was blown away by the size of it.

        Dubman and the serenity. Was just phenomenal. Obviously outside was mental. But inside was so peaceful.

        it was a stressful trip though. I was on a Med-evac mission. Got our passports confiscated at immigration. A bad approach into India and the pilots were sweating bullets as they got really late clearance to land. All seemed highly stressful.

            Definitely. I was only there for a few days. Did you go up to the border crossing between India and Pakistan. I was due to go but unfortunately I got the shits and was diagnosed with dysentery when I got back to Goa.
