On my last days in Nepal, I've decided to try somethings I haven't had the time to try before. So today at lunch I went for the local wine, Tongba, which I thought was the local beer (big mistake).
"Tongba is a special cultural alcoholic beverage of Limbu. Tongba basically is a Nepali ethnic wine made of fermented millet. Tongba is made by pouring hot water into a pot of fermented millet and drunk with a bamboo straw. Tongba is popular during winter season with locals and year around with tourists."

Because I came originally from Austria (Not exactly true), I am known for my enormous alcohol capacities (Terrible lie). Hence the awful headache I am experiencing at the moment and the general bad feeling. Good idea!

Austria my S! You leave Austria to us Austrians man! On the positive side, you didn't get typhus...
Take it! But can I use the ski resorts once or twice a year?
On behalf of the genuine Austrian I would like to point out that those of us who also carry an Israeli citizenship prefer hot chocolate rather than any alcoholic beverage. Apple strudel will do too. Thank you.
Hi Noa,
Yotam is one of you guys too, so he has a legitimite right too :-)
