Like the Lion from Oz...

One of my goals while in Cork was to get a pedi-cab job. However, the Lord Mayor's idea to make Cork, Ireland a bike-friendly city seems to have gone the way of the Celtic Tiger economy. Kathmandu on the other hand seems to have plenty of pedi-cab job opportunities--but I think not for me. Last night I paid a driver several rupees for the opportunity to drive his pedi-cab down the pitch black streets of Kathmandu (Nepal is in the midst of 16 hour rolling power outages--turns out the Maoist are better at "rebelling" than governing) Fortified by a number of Jim Beam and Cokes from the Upstairs Jazz Bar (More on that later), I hurled down the strets toward on-coming headlights but a number of nearly tragic accidents has convinced me to seek other job opportunities--perhaps a life guard at Yost Pool...Off to see the French...Bone Swaah!!
