Paani Paryoooooooooo

That's Nepali for It's raaaaaaaaaaaaaaining.

It rained hard yesterday. At about 4pm the generator at work went off, and the skies were so grey, that I had to read a report using the torch on my cell phone.

Monsoon Fashion Alert
Thank god we collectively decided to skip dance, because as I was walking home, i spotted the most impressive invention ever designed. Some background: Everyone here rides a motorbike or a scooter. Besides walking, it's the best way to get around KTM. But when it rains, one might be potentially screwed with just a normal poncho as they try to navigate the streets on their motorbike. However, yesterday I saw a man wearing a poncho that not only fit him AND the front of his motorbike (with a clear plastic window for the headlights of his bike to shine through), but ALSO the poncho had two head holes and covered the woman seated behind him on the motorbike. Genius. Pure.
