You will not believe this.
Tonight I was going to watch pirated DVD's on my laptop, I got awesome pizza from Fire & Ice and had a diet Coke at my side.
Instead...I got up..and wandered around the hotel.
Nepal has legal gambling....so I meandered to Casino Rad located in my hotel.
I walk in... look lost...and this elderly gentleman shows me around.. I ask him about history, general facts, and he offers me a drink.
He happens to be the General Manager of the place.
I tell him I want to get my video camera to interview him... I come back, people stop me from entering with a videocamera...but I enter anyways after seeing him. I video tape him..with comparisons to Las Vegas (this is on a much much smaller scale...a few slot machines, black jack tables, and roulette)....and aftewards he gives me 2000 rupees to play on the house along with a diet coke and cashew nuts....
He takes me to roulette, I play for a bit..then move onto blackjack where 2 gentleman who work with the American Embassy in Bangkok join me to play....have a brilliant time, great conversation, learn where to go while in Bangkok at the end of my journey, and win 100 US dollars.
Not a bad way to end the day.
Blackjack, roulette, being treated awesomely by the GM of the casino and a fantastic interview.
Good times.
