The Journey

S'up everyone? I've arrived safely in Kathmandu, after 3 long and arduous flights through various parts of the globe. Some comments:

Frankfurt:

You could see some of Germany's many windmills from the plane, which was pretty. Way to be environmentally conscious, Germans! Also, employees ride around the terminal in bicycles, and haagen daas serves stuff like coffee and pastries there. There was a suck factor though with them not wanting to tell me my gate until 10 minutes before boarding time, and some really ostentatious rich Germans who I think were laughing at a group of women in burkas.

Qatar:

Same as last time, but I did manage to sample some exotic local food:

It's the Emily special!

Of the three airports, I'd say Pearson was actually the nicest, which is sorta depressing in a way.

Anyways, more about actual Nepal laters!

why is the writing sooo small on that post compared to the others...I think I'm starting to lose my perfect vision cause my eyes were straining. Help a girl out! Use bigger writing next time.

Also, LOVE that they had TCBY in Qatar...delicious. Also, bikes? I don't know whether to laugh or be impressed...perhaps a little of both? Yes, i'll go with a little of both.

Love you! Call me again soon!

I was just thinking about you this morning and thought to check this site. Glad that you arrived okay and looking forward to reading of your new adventures. Nana tried to call you but you had already left. She wants me to remind you to save her any business cards. She's sorry she missed you and she loves you. It was funny, cuz when I offered to send a message for her, she said she wasn't sure how much it would cost. Guess she was looking for the price of e-stamps. BTW, I love you too.
