Emu R' Us

Is that " ' " in the right place?

So today, I have officially made more posts in a single blog than I have in any other blog that I have made. This is the third post, so that tells you how well the last blogs went.

Today features another sign I saw on the way to the Festival.




I can see what they were trying to get across but I don't think it came out quite right. I don't know how many tailors there are out there serving the animal/Beings from another planet population, but this one clearly is not one of them. Perhaps the animal tailor market was not meeting the growth expectations that the owner thought he should be meeting, and decided to enter the niche market of human tailoring?

And now a pic with no commentary.

Two Posts, One Day?

Maybe starting with two posts in one day will help with me doing this longer. Or, perhaps it will make it end sooner. Only time will tell.

This is a picture that I saw on the way to a festival that I attended on Saturday. It is about earthquakes, and I found it rather odd at first.



I am pretty sure that the text reads "In case of earthquake, make sure you are not the family disgrace or failure" with missing dialog:
Father: "You are nothing to me!"

I have not felt any earthquakes while I have been here, but if one does happen, I don't think its going to be pretty at all. Lets just say the Kathmandu Building and Construction Standards Board is not really well funded...or possibly existing.

Hello World

This is the first post of this blog. I started a Blogger blog before but never followed through with it, so we shall see how long this lasts this time. Anyway, I am in Nepal for 5 months from now and this is where I will be putting my thoughts, ideas, and pictures about Nepal, and other random subjects that I think should be talked about..by me.

So, to start off with, here is a picture that I took this weekend.

This may seem like a depressing photo to start off with, and maybe you are right, but it was a festival, and its a pretty big wheel, so that has to count for something.
