If you feel like trekking in the Himalaya, gazing at some of the most stunning scenery in the world, or even climbing some of the more challenging stuff, here is a recommended agency.  If you can get Som Tsering Tamang as your guide, he'll be chuffed!  I met Som around Annapurna and I've hung out a bit with his wife and family in Kathmandu.

Alexis and Stan's world of 'Hyperlinking'.  What's that?  Won't be long before you know, if you don't already.  You can print bar-code stickers out at home and stick them on anything in the real world.  Someone else comes along and reads the code with his or her mobile and, hey presto! The relevant page on Wikipedia appears on your phone and you can learn while beholding directly that which you are reading about!!  Now that's a good idea, no?
