Fri, May 9 - Kathmandu

Yves has a Kathmandu newspaper showing the Chinese carrying the torch to top of Everest. What a great piece of PR. They have selected a Tibetan woman to be the person who carries the torch the last few steps to the top. Meanwhile, the Tibetan people here in Kathmandu continue to demonstrate (I see a small but peaceful demonstration) about the abuses the Chinese are inflicting on them. Nepal locks up the demonstrators as quickly as they can.

I spend the entire day backing up my photos to DVDs. Normally there are power outages every evening, but this evening there is none and I complete writing the last DVD at midnight. There was a big storm that dumped a good bit of rain, perhaps that is why the power stays on?
