‘Reutlinger Nachrichten’ now wrote an article about what’s new in Nepal: Of course most of it was about the effects of climate change on Nepal – the monsoon seems to be worse than it used to -, about the scholar system – parents are forced by law to let their children have at least 4 school years, but need to pay for any further school year -, about the dangers and hardships students face on their ways to school – bad roads and ailing bridges and in some cases no roads or bridges at all – and about the hotel ‘Yak & Yeti’ in Kathmandu. What surprised me wasn’t so much that this hotel meets about the standards of European hotels – in the capital of a developing country you always find a number of hotels that meet European standards so to attract European tourists -, but what surprised me was whom they hired as a manager. As it seems a lady from Baden-Wuerttemberg in the South of Germany once moved to Kathmandu to work and to live there. Now she has been the manager of this hotel for many years. She even got an award that as far as I understood is given away by an international Asian organization to managers who do an excellent work.
