ken4ord Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 You know you are not in Kansas when...... ....when a bus scrapes along side your vehicle folding over your mirror denting the side of your vehicle and keeps motoring along as if nothing happened. ....when your evening running commute involves dodging rickshaws, hitting cars with your hand when they drive too close and running through crowds similar to a rock concert. ....when riding a bicycle you have been hit three times by a cars in three months. ....when mountain bike rides consist of rding boats half of the time you are out on your "ride". ....when you have to weigh yourself before and after sport activity so that you know how much rehydration is needed. ....when you are walking down the street and everyone calls you boss, even though you have never employed them. ....when your greenery is $10 for a half oz. ....when half of your diet is made of vegetables and fruit that you have never seen or heard of before. ....when alcohol is considered a controlled substance, where the only place you can get a drink is at a club (the equivalent of a speak-easy). ....when you wake up to prayer call and go to sleep after prayer call. ....when you go to the pool and your biggest worry is not slipping or drowning, but catching typhoid. ....when the city you live in has a population of over 12 million people ....when Kathmandu is an hour flight and cost $160 round trip. I am heading there following weekend can’t wait, though it is just a family trip this time, explore the city, maybe go hiking, maybe go mountain biking, mainly just getting away from the chaos.

AlpineK Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Did you have to get an official card that certifies you as an alcoholic in order to get a drink? I hear they used to have those in Pakistan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken4ord Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Feck, Yeah I had to get a card that certifies that I am alcoholic, I actually had to get a sponsor first. Phoq, actually not half bad, it is not super kind but it is not seedy stem shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
