Last main day of Dashain. Walked southern (not including Patna) Kathmandu, through the center and up to Swyambunath (monkey temple). Going to try to start shooting tomorrow.
I'm going to plan for the worst and hope for the best with this project... it's possible that there won't even be a strike but there are a number of issues linked with the strikes:
1. Food Shortage in the Terai region and western regions
2. The shutting down of businesses and factories
I also still need to get an economist expert which is being worked out (they're still busy from the festival). And I need to get students at the colleges since they're the ones that organize the strikes (they go back to school on Sunday).
Tomorrow I may attempt to go into one of the slums but will need to work out a translator to come with me.
