It’s 2000 and what now?

If you are one of those people who finds it hard to remember what day of the week it is then count your lucky stars you don't live in Nepal where you might find yourself in the wrong century!

Yesterday was New Year's Day 2065 under the 'official' Bikram Sambat calendar. However Nepal will also be celebrating New Year's Day 1128 on the 28th October (Nepal Sambat calendar) and has already welcomed in 2135 on the 8th February (Lhosar/Tibetan calendar).

All of this means that it is simultaneously the 12th, 21st and 22nd century in Nepal!

In other news we were down in Southampton this weekend test driving tuk-tuks (photos to follow soon). 4500km seems a lot further today than it did last week.

Happy New Year.
