ROCK AND ROLL!
The revolution's over! The King has backed down and reinstated parliament. Nepal's a democracy again... for now. There's still the worry that the Maoists, the military force behind this rebellion, will be a little pissed to remain largely unrepresented in the parliament, but at least for now the country's back on its feet. I woke up this morning to the news that the strike's over, the busses start running tomorrow, and the planned curfew has been cancelled. I don't know much more than that other than the BBC blurb. I'm heading around town to explore! I feel like I've been cooped up in this tourist center way too long. Will post again soon when I get a better picture of what's going on.
