Polling has closed at Nepal's second election. An eventful day. A woman gave birth at a voting booth, some bombs were seized, some scuffles broke out. However, all in all, it was largely peaceful. Estimates are of a sixty-five percent voter turn out. The counting is underway.
Here in Kathmandu it was fascinating. The sun shone on a historic day in Nepal. Hopefully I'll have a detailed report with some results within the next day or two.
For now we're off to a little Nepali kitchen for dal bhat, the traditional fare. Maybe it is the first evening meal in a strong new beginning for Nepal...
