- Back in town I went up to Thamel tourist area to look for a second hand India guidebook and then to Chinese market at Boudan Bazaar to buy new headphones.... - 1st hassle is :Seems they don't sell 1/16 inch headphones in Nepal.
- 2nd hassle was that when I borrowed the Irishman's North India guidebook I couldn't find anywhere to photocopy some pages nor use internet as the load shedding schedule has changed and no-one knows what it is.
- When it comes to guidebooks I think you need something 1. As upto date as possible 2. As much detail as possible so in the end I decided to photocopy the Rajistan pages and buy the LP NE India book as 1. It's 2007 2. More detailed and 3. Lighter than the full India book.
- Fri - so I needed to use internet and photocopies, but same old problem load shedding. I had to change money. At least my hotel was cheaper than expeced 150Rp making it about £13 for 10 days. Rushed over to Thamel got the LP NE India book for 800Rp and went over to Rudra's for lunch. But they were all over at the new TV studios by the river. - Had lunch with Rudra, rushed over to get the book copied, took the wrong micro, took another, internet,
