I have 5 or 6 days before the end of the festival still. What I'm going to do to take advantage of the time is to get the entire city wired: I started with eastern Kathmandu (where I live) and south eastern giving my number out to willing young adults (who could speak English). I told them to phone me after the festival if --> 1) They see a strike 2)They hear of a strike somewhere within Kathmandu
I've already got a few phone calls from them to come hang out and drink wine... well at least I know they're willing to call me. I'm doing this using my map in a strategic manner, giving my number out to people who live in all the major areas: Bauddha, Old Baneshwar, New Baneshwar, Baneshwar... Next I'll do the Northern Section.
I covered a lot less ground than I thought I would: although it's not a great distance, I often stop to chat with the people who are going to help me. Everybody is extremely cheerful because of Dashain. Everybody is on holiday.
