Arrived in Kathmandu last night... when I arrived I had to sit through 12 hours of load shedding (power outage) and no water. I was starting to feel a bit sick, as some of my classmates were sick at the Pingyao Photography Festival in which I attended. Bought my power adapter:
called Nabraj (who will help me arrange various things) and chilled out during the rainy day. Tomorrow I'm hoping to move to a more strike-prone area to start getting contacts with the people who organize the protests.
I contacted these guys:

I'll be trying to find an economist to narrate my story because they are the experts on how these frequent "bandhs" effect the economy. One more night in Chitrapati and then off to some other location in Kathmandu.
I have to make sure and take advantage of the time that I do have power: plug my phone/computer in right away to get it charged. Luckily I have a mac now which lasts 6 X longer on battery than my PC.
