Still feeling unwell with stomach cramps and diarrhea. So I spend time in bed but learn of some drugs that will help. It’s easy to buy all sorts of formal drugs over the counter here, even antibiotics. No doctors prescription required. But this is only useful if you know what you want. I don’t think the people behind the counter have much pharmaceutical expertise. And they don’t speak English! Fortunately I know what I want.
Late afternoon I meet with Dipak over coffee to discuss his research and talk about plans for a research trip to far western Nepal. He’s looking at native bees over there. They are similar to our Australian native bees. This is exciting for me, both talking insects and traveling to the far reaches of Nepal.

Yeah what a great opportunity. Tried to talk him into sneaking into Tibet but that would be difficult.
