On Places, People and Cultures

On the way out of Kathmandu my bus was stuck in traffic jam because the road was blocked by student protesters who wanted to know the truth and bring to public attention the fact that their fellow student had been beaten to death by the police a night before. It started off rather peacefully, but then got a bit hectic as soon as the police had enough force in place to oppose the protesters. It was a bit surreal for me, as that was the first time I witnessed something like that from such a close distance, as well as the fact it was over some ones lost life!
