I followed around a rickshaw driver who used to work at the Jute Mill. I pretty much have everything I need but my computer is still in the shop...not functioning. Looks like I'll be in this ridiculous heat another day. I realized how out of sleep I really am today. Because of mosquitoes and the temperature I haven't been sleeping very well at night so I took a nap in the afternoon. The load shedding turned my fan off and I awoke in a sauna. The sun was down by then so it was pitch dark and it took me a while remember where I was... I guess I was fast asleep and having some intense dreams.
So anyway as I wait for my computer I'll finish up anything else I need to do and just take a day to buy some knock-off t-shirts/sunglasses etc...
The main interviews for my project will be: one of the paid staff who's worked there for 20 years, a laborer who is now forced to drive a rickshaw, the former chairman, and possibly squeeze in a quote from Girijia Prasad Koirala at the end. I think I have all the shots I need but can't say for sure since I can't work on the video until I get a working computer!
I also discovered this morning that there's a photo of me in The Kathmandu Post (July 20th) in the background with all the other journalists in the city (including the BBC).
It'll be good to get to Kathmandu where I can use faster Internet and much cooler temperatures. I just pray my computer will get fixed so I can do some actual work.
