Gurkha

Michelle writes:
Just was given the label off the Gurkha beer bottle we had been drinking here at happy hour. The waiter is Gurkha, the mighty fighters employed by the British army! He showed me on Google maps where he's from and proudly told me of walking 1 hour to school, 2 hours during monsoon season. Here, children eat dal bhatt in the morning, walk to school which starts at 10, attend until 5, then walk home! No buses in the mountains. No school lunch, just a hearty dal bhatt meal twice a day.
