On our way to Pokhara, we met this friendly Israeli lady and had lunch with her. Discussed with her about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. First-hand account of the situation there =)

Noble Inn- the place we stayed for one night... Paid 400 rupees for one night which was considered very ex. The story goes like this: When we arrived at Pokhara, we were surrounded by taxi drivers who offered to drive us to some hotel. Fresh from the airport experience, we knew that we shouldn jump into any of the taxis haphazardly as we will end up paying exorbitant prices. We walked to the nearby Tourism office to escape from these ppl. Got a map from the office. Met this guy who seemed to be super friendly... Offered to drive us to his hotel for free just to look-see look-see. He seemed quite sincere and I agreed, much to the chagrain of Al. I simply had no energy left and just wanted to settle down ASAP. And to walk with our backpacks for long distances in search of a hotel- no thanks. haha, of course the end result is that we paid much more in return. And Al felt that i was putting both of us at risk by accepting a stranger's ride- who knows where he will drive us to? Haha till now, I got teased by Al about this incident and this sentence that the owner said to me, " U trust me, ok... " Come to think of it, I am indeed too trusting. Of course, we left Noble Inn on the second day after finding better hotel deals.
