I checked in to the Kathmandu Guest House without any problems, even though they'd lost my reservation. There is going to be a nationwide general strike for the next three days so I don't know what will be open tomorrow - not good since I'd been planning on doing all my shopping in the next two days. At the guesthouse I ran into Chrissie - I thought both her and Nir were long gone. We arranged to meet later and I went into maintenance mode: turned in laundry, went to the bookstore, and checked the internet. I met Chrissie for a late lunch at Ying Yang - a popular travelers place. After eating she headed for the airport and I went back to the guesthouse to read. Spent the evening on the internet, hanging out in the courtyard, and had pizza for dinner.
