Nepal Trip Update!

I know I know it's been a while. The internet in Nepal has been playing up recently and when it works, it is too slow to upload pictures (or even to open Facebook).

For those who don't know, I arrived in Nepal on the 1st of July.

Everything has been amazing; The locals I've met so far have been very friendly and luckily enough I've had very good guides to show me around and stop me from getting ripped off.

Which is something that happens very often to tourists.

Nepal relies heavily on tourism as a source of income, so they have different prices for locals and tourists everywhere. For instance, the entrance-fee to a museum would be 60 NRs (approx. .66 AUD) for locals and 800 NRs (approx. 9 AUD) for tourists.

It is kind of fair if you think about it, but once you have to pay for something 10x more the normal price it gets a little bit annoying over time. 

I have visited many places so far and have heaps of photos to upload. However, in order to make my blog more tidy, I'll be uploading the pics from nepal here (http://memitoinnepal.blogspot.com/).

I also have decided to keep the pictures free from photoshop. I'll just adjust the lighting and vibrance (colour) and leave it like that. I want to show Nepal as I am seeing it and not as I want you to see it. 

Now you might be thinking that there won't be much difference between a photoshopped picture and a raw one, but let me show a quick example of how I would use photoshop.

Photoshopped

Raw Picture

In case you didn't notice, in the photoshopped picture one column is missing, flags were added and clouds fixed (bottom right corner) . I feel bad having to edit something thats beautiful by itself. However, I will need to adjust the colours and lighting (as I said before) because most of the incongruences between the real scenery and the raw picture's colour  could arise from my camera settings.

Last thing I want to clarify is that only the best pictures will be posted on Faceblog and the rest will go to my other blog. 

I'm not saying that the other pictures are bad, I'm just trying to keep Faceblog tidy :). 

Pro tip of the day: All my posts and blogs now have labels, so if you only want to read about something in specific i.e Nepal updates, then go to Labels on the right side ((your right))) and then click on whatever you want to read about. 

In case you're wondering, FYI means For Your Information. 

Remember to Stick Around! Pictures Coming up Soon!

Sad News :(

As I said before, everything went ok except for one thing. 

someone stole soniyas Iphone :/ and around 1700 BHAs :( ((approx 60 AUD). 

sooooooooooooooooo, lesson for all of us:

•  Do not leave your bags unattended at any airport 
• If you have to sleep in the airport, sleep somewhere near CCTV cameras 
• trust no one!! *Dramatic music plays* hahahaha jokes. I don't know, be careful I guess? 
• Do not rely on the airport's security staff, some have proven to be very useless.

Thank You Timeline :)

I hated facebook's new timeline so much, that I decided to delete fb permanently and take the time and effort to open (and maintain)  this blog.
I have named this blog Faceblog as its main purpose will be to keep my family and close friends updated with what I have been up to.
Plus since I deleted fb I noticed most of my friends/family did the same. Ergo,  what would be a better way to keep in touch? :)
I did notice that you need to create an account with blogger or google+ to post comments (that sucks) but don't worry! luckily I was a myspace fan once. So I figured out a way to include fb comment boxes! You can use your fb/hotmail/yahoo account.
Anyway, Thanks for taking the time for reading this and welcome to my blog !
