Entering Nepal

These pictures are from my first day in Nepal. My two fellow Fellows and I landed in Kathmandu and were delivered to our hotel. We rested and drank on the Nomad Hotel's patio for a couple of hours.

I grabbed a taxi to hit my third Hash in nearly three years. The Himalayan H3 held its 2317th R*n on the outskirts of town. I'd mistakenly arrived an hour early do to my janky phone not updating its clock correctly. I wandered around searching for Hashers. An hour later, the Hash Cash sped by me on his scooter asking whether I was a Hasher. I followed him in to the on site.

The pack got underway. I exercised caution, being in a new town, and set out with the walkers. More than 20 hours of travel and several hours of drinking meant that I wasn't in much shape to follow the pack when the trail abruptly turned up a near-vertical narrow mountain path. They continued on while I drank my way back to the start point.

The pack returned for a fun circle shortened by the mosquitoes emerging with the setting of the sun. Dengue fever being on the minds of most Hashers, we quickly concluded, setting everyone free to pursue their own on-afters. He-Bitch, the RA, mocked me for wearing my SHHH Grand Master hat and my Shenyang H3 GM vest, announcing that I had come to take over their Hash. 

The rest of the night involved exploring some bars around our hotel with another of the two Fellows, but we ended up having a magnificent time at the cockroach-filled bar, The Happy Monk.

What would follow over the coming week would prove very stressful. My touchdown in Dhangadhi, the town where I am to be stationed for ten months, drove me a bit insane. More on all of that later.
