Feeling for the people of Nepal
Nepal has suffered its worst earthquake in more than 80 years with at least 1,500 deaths. One always feels more acutely for the tribulations of a country, when one has actually been there.
In 2003. Vee and I made a visit to Nepal, staying in the capital Kathmandu. We met some lovely people but the nation is one of the poorest on the planet and this earthquake will set them back still further.
You can obtain a flavour of life in Nepal from my account of our visit here.
