mmm, i seem to have run out of time before writing anything.... ok, here's 4 mins worth of ramble....:

I have come to the conclusion that all vehicles in nepal (and india) are "horn powered". By this i mean that the horn is actually vital in the running of the engine, being the only thing that pumps fuel from the tank into the engine. This conclusion is based on the fact that all drivers use there horn at least once every 6 seconds regardless of whether they are in congested traffic or on an empty road. The horning has absoultely no correlation whatsoever with people in the road/cars in front/other drivers etc, so I ealised that there must be more to these horns than I had first suspected. Another thing that supports my theory is that the larger the vehicle, the more frequent and more powerful the horning becomes. Trucks for example, dont have a simple "Beeeep", or "Parrrp" sound, but a "NeeNawNeeNawNeeNaw" noise which is loud enough to rupture an eardrum. This sound is used at least every 6 seconds, and even more when going up hills (more fuel needed i suspect). Anyway, times up.... think about it......
