Some Nepalese Moments !

The Eastern European plastic surgeon in Pheriche on his 15th visit to Nepal - "its the only way I can lose weight I love coming back" !

The sight of 4 helicopters at Gorakshep waiting to evacuate some of the AS sick Indian contingent - pity their insurance company at $7,000 US a flight !

The amount of trekkers completing unfinished treks from 2015 - Earthquake interrupted !

My brother Mark and Katrina on the high bridge near Namche confronted by a herd of Yaks with nowhere to go - nearly the first people in Nepal to bungy jump without a bungy ;!

The average wage of a Nepalese worker -  just over $3,000 per annum

Average cost of accommodation of a tea house on Everest trek - $3-5 per night !

Number of permits issued to climb Everest and Lhotse during the 2016 season = 320 plus !

The number of nose and throat clearing events while trekking at altitude = lost bloody count !

The amount of bacterial germs in Nepal according to my brother = way too many to avoid dirrorhea !
