Strike

I am now in Narti and have several entries to post, but I only have a brief amount of time on the internet today. For the next 3 days, there will be a strike during which there will be no buses to take me to town so that I use the internet. Walking takes 2 hours each way. I might do the walk at least once if I have nothing else to do with my time. I'm not yet sure whether I'll be able to start my volunteer project tomorrow as things are kind of loose and unstructured here. If not, I might be really bored. So I may spend some quality time updating my blog sometime during the next 3 days or there may be nothing posted again until after the strike.

Right now, I think that I will stay in Narti for about 2 weeks, then do a 5-day trek for wimps (basically a walk near the mountains, but not in them), spend 3 days at the Chitwan forest (where I will have internet access in the lodge where I'm staying), and then return to Kathmandu. But that schedule could change . . .
