Nepal Bus
from IndieFeed: Big Shed Audio Documentaries · host IndieFeed.com community
(Producer: Emma Raynes) Artist Notes: While I was doing research in Gurung villages, I had go back and forth between Pokhara (a hill town) and Kathmandu (the capital of Nepal). The seven hour bus route began in the bustling city, dodging and swerving around other cars and bullock carts. Eventually the route took the wide bus along a narrow, precarious dirt road that snaked through the mountains. I often took photographs or recorded sound to distract myself from my fear of getting in an accident or falling off a cliff into a raging river. The terrifying bus rides were accompanied by jolly Nepali music.
