Not that it appeared in any major US media of course, but I was encouraged to read in the Times of India that the United States is paying some attention to the strange goings on in Nepal.
Between the actions of a despotic King and a heavily-armed guerilla army, the Nepali people have it pretty tough at the moment, but I'm pleased to report that I received word from one of the young monks I met in Kathmandu back in the summer.
I'm not entirely clear that Boudha Sonam Topgyal ever received my previous correspondence but from his cheery note reminding me of my visit to his monastery I deduce that life in Kathmandu isn't too bad after all - at least not for everyone.
Meanwhile, today my main contribution to the global peace movement was to watch the Motorcycle Diaries and spend money at Starbucks. Viva the revolution!
Surely of greater world interest is the new mccullochblog colour scheme. What can you tell us about that? Do you have the inside story?
