I'm Back ...
Location: Pokhara, Nepal
Local Time: Monday, Jan 9, 2005
I made it. I'm out of Nangi, and drinking lots and lots of orange juice. Fresh squeezed of course.
I had a fabulous (well, at least quite good) baked spagetti with cheese yesterday.
One complaint. I have been gone for 2 months, (well, almost) and now I'm back, and you know what, they are still playing Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I do not understand. It is not that good. There are 3 restaurants that play movies in the evening here, and for the 2 nights I have been here, Mr. and Mrs. Smith has played 3 times. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, twice. Brother's Grimm once. Do these people have no originality?
I renewed my visa yesterday so I don't have to panick about getting out of the country. I have another month to arrange it instead of less than a week. I'm a little concerned about the fog at the airport in Delhi. It comes and it goes and it is preventing planes from landing. I would like to make my connection in Delhi the same day I arrive, but if they don't let my plane land, I would miss my connection.
Said goodbye to Milan yesterday. He's going to buy some art supplies then go back to Nangi to train some of the people there in producing some artistic works he thinks can be sold.
I've been catching up on my reading. I read a couple of trashy novels. Net Force, created by Tom Clancy and someone else.
Also, The Celestine Prophecy, which Shelby recommended to me a couple months ago. Very interesting.

Ah yes, the Celestine Prophecy. I read that at someone's recommendaton about 10 years ago and also found it very interesting! I don't remember a lot about it anymore but I remember really enjoying the concepts (if not the author's writing style). PS the sequel, "The 10th Prophecy", is not nearly as good. Might still be worth a read but definitely should not be at the top of your list.
it probably has something to do with limited resources more than the people having no originality, how much are you paying for these exellent meals. Try paying full canadian price and i bet their movie selection would greatly increase.
I agree with anonymous...surely Jacob figured that out, but I bet it gets really frustrating to be in a non changing environment.
I disagree with anonymous. In 1 restaurant in particular, they have about 100 DVDs on display, and entire bookshelf. Nice variety, good movies. They repeatedly play Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, for months. When I asked why they always play the same movies, the waiter got quite upset and started commenting about different people.
On a road where 4 restaurants play movies, it is not uncommon to find 2 or 3 all playing the same movie that night.
This is not the only situation in which I encounted this level of lack of original thought, nor am I the only one to notice it.
