prisoners on holiday

hi everybody, since climbing the big mountain we've been stuck in katmandu for the past few days. due to strikes and nepali citizens curfew - calling for the resignation of the eviillll king and a wish for democracy - katmandu has become a ghost town but for the few sneaky places like this very internet cafe im in now. the army patrol every corner of every street armed with machine guns and batons... 'no sudden movements damo'.

theres only so much time killing to be done b4 we get bored senseless (we played chess in a bookshop yesterday - i won ;)), so we have decided to bite the bullit and pay for a 100 US dollar flight to delhi rather than to wait for the eviillll king to do the honourable thing. shame, cause a coach into delhi would have only cost around 10 US dollars. if anybody feels sorry fo us they can make charitable donations to the garlen and damian fund at: makethiertriplastlonger@hotmail.com

so thats, that. we will book our flights tonight and should hopefully be in delhi this time tomorow. by the way, the army think im nepalese and keep telling me to go indoors: 'IM ENGLISH', i keep protesting. also, ive shaved that tache off now. thank god. thank gillette.

Well, well, well, i've finally seen this website, thanks for telling me about it Garl!!! photos look cool especially the himalayas/everest ones, you're both looking slim and tanned, hope you're having a good time, though looking at the photos its hard to see if you're really not, and we don't miss you yet, so don't think you have to rush comming back.

Yes my hair has got lighter, a lot lighter in fact! good spot! my skin is also falling off in large clumps. I leave a nice Damian shaped skin print on my bed each morning. I can keep some as a holiday present for people if they like, you only need to ask!

Wooo cant wait to see them!, now all we need is to get you a cardigan. Cardigans are very much the indie boy thing to wear now. Kind of like Seth from the O.C look....whatevs. We should start off a new style!
Guess who I saw today?! Rico, you remember him? used to be in Seans class-someone threw the bin over his head one time?! He is now working at hammersmith hospital as a receptionist.
