In Kathamandu, thought I would write since there are rumors email would be down tomorrow. Things are good. Have been riding a bike to work and it is kind of like frogger avoiding all the traffic.

Tonight, I went out and there is to be a protest on Saturday and people have been blocked in travelling as a precaution. The other thing they did is that they shut down the mobile phone networks temporarily. It is always fine to have converations about the possibility of it until you find yourself in it. Then you feel hopeless - and honestly a bit scared. You are cut off and if you go out in the street you face possibly being shot.

Am trying to be rational but must admit am a bit scared. I always studied conflict but to be in the middle of it is not adrenaline inducing, it is just scary.

Oh, well. Sure it will be fine. I will just read books and watched the pirated dvds I bought.
