I have been reading the diaries about Nepal by guavaboy. He lived there and worked there and he has been following the situation that has gone critical about how and why Kathmandu has been cut off from petrol and supplies. It is an amazing and important story that he tells so well with all kinds of background, photos and links.
Please check out today's diary:
