		<description><![CDATA[Nepal without a king has become a police state. There is an ongoing strike or baandh against fuel hike. Everyone&#8217;s protesting, but not only by organising demos and rallies. There is a total ban on public transport. You get jeered at, or may be stones thrown at you, if you are on a public vehicle.

No tourist. Rising cost of goods. Hungry people.
