USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY TO PLAN AND EXPEDITE SPONTANEOUS TRAVEL

Nepal

I planned a very short visit to Nepal.

Surprise!! I arrived during their first democratic election and all transportation was shut down for security


Kathmandu Street Scene	Bicycle Rickshaw	Souvenir Shop	Thamel is the backpacker district	I had an Everest beer and some popcorn

Rooftop view from my hotel	A polling place	The voters line up	The voting was peaceful in Kathmandu. The Maoists won.	I took a bus to Pokara

The trucks were colorful	Really bright colored clothes	My fellow passengers had interesting faces	Political messages everywhere	Small town Nepal

I took a public bus to the Indian border	Lots of stops along the way with exotic snacks available.	I think the driver had a girlfriend at this two-hour pause	The last four kilometers to the Indian border were by bicycle rickshaw
