Jjubhai Maharjan has been released. He claims to have been treated well during his detention and thanks Amnesty International for the work done on his behalf.



Thank you to all who sent appeals

That's great to hear, Chris!



It's wonderful how the internet can make a difference. It's one thing if some group like AI complains, it can be brushed off. But word gets around, all kinds of people in democracies can email, write, phone their representives and others, making something too public to be forgotten or swept under the rug!



I hope this fellow lives a good, peaceful and long healthy life.

Yeah it is great news Ron! People need to know that what they do DOES make a difference!! woooooooooohoooooooo



Nepal is one of those countries I've had many opportunities to visit but never have and now it's very near the top of my MUST VISIT countries. Friends have told me standing within the Himalayas is the most amazing feeling and vista in the world that a film or photos will never capture. We have many Nepalese working in Hong Kong and they are lovely and friendly people.

If Mauna Kea's height is measured from its base (18,000 feet below sea level), it surpasses even Mount Everest, and is the world's highest mountain (31,796 ft.).

I don't think I want to summit Everest Seismic!! I do want to reach base camp though! A lot of people have done that! It takes about 10 days I believe. And is breathtaking! My brother Clif has been to Nepal and to base camp - he's actually very much into Everest. I'll point him to this thread!! Thank you for that link Seismic!! :kizz

If you're not up to Everest, Chris, you could try the highest mountain in the US (excluding Alaska & Hawaii), which would be "Pike's Peak" in Colorado. And nearby there's a place called "The Garden Of The Gods" that's totally other-worldly due it's towering, fantasic rock formations. It's an amazing place to explore!



Here's the general area of the Garden of the Gods -











Pike's Peak - seen through a hole in a rock formation there named "The Siamese Twins" -

i don't travel but nepal is one of the few places i will see before (or after) i die. i always dreamt of tibet too but i guess that's all but a memory now. dharamsala is the other place i hope to visit before i die, but only to see the dalai lama- hey maybe he'll come eat dinner at my house though so i won't have to go to dharamsala (i did invite him in a letter).

Yes - it's an amazing place, looks almost as if you stepped unto the terrain of another planet!

The Grand Canyon runs thru several states, Chris. Colorado (CO) is northeast of Arizona, they share a border. In fact 4 states meet at that same point and so it's called the "Four Corners". HERE is a map of that area.



And here's someones' interesting Geocities pages with pics about "The Garden Of The Gods".

BUD! I've heard great stories from friends who've also been to Darammasala (forgot the spelling...) I've not had much desire to visit India although the stories of Bombay sound fascinating!!! It's Nepal first for me!
