| Shouldering the white man's burden. Leaving Nepal, on the way to the airport we had to get out and walk two miles to the terminal because a demonstration had closed off the street. The taxi driver, without asking us (because he didn't know any English and -- Surprise! -- we didn't know Nepalese), hired three apparently jobless men as our porters. (I kept trying to tell them that the bags had wheels.) | |
