Made It
Location: Shikha, Nepal
Local Time: Monday, Nov 28, 2005 - 4:50pm
Well, I started walking at 10 this morning and got here at 4. My guide says he can do it in about 4 hours. We walked over 3 mountain ridges to get here, about 2 hours to get over each one. This hiking around the Himalayas stuff is for the Nepali.
So, apparently I am suppose to try to help set up the internet connection from the high school in this village, to a village up on the mountain side, called Copra. They haven't shown me any networking equipment yet, so I'm sitting here writing to you guys.
Everyone is very nice though.
It seems that this village is a more popular trekking destination than Nangi. It is more developed, has a couple of English signs for the hotels and restaurants. Nangi has none of that, and the store in Nangi is a little room in the bottom of someone's house with a couple of things.
There are a couple of Nepali people from Kathmandu here working for a week or two. They are leaving in 6-7 days.
I don't know how long I will be here. Apparently, Mahabir (the organizer and motivator) left Nangi over a week ago, saying he would only be gone a couple of days. I guess there are some difficulties. If they would show me a router and give me a password, I'd be set.

May the force be with you (Sorry, I watched episode II over the weekend when Fox was broadcasting it in high definition...wow did it look amazing!)
I'm sure you'll kick that network's butt right into submission. Good luck!
