Things We Forgot In the Pyre: Wherein We Revisit The Adventure In Our Minds' Eyes And Recap Some Forgotten Moments

1. In Bhaktipur, truly a charming, medieval village (right outside of Kathmandu) wherein, while looking for some stuff to freaking shoot, Charles meets one Art School Confidential, who happily leads us to film in his best friend's home. Yes, there are art school kids in Bhaktipur!

2. Yes, Bertolucci shot in Bhaktipur. As Art School Confidential tells us, "Bertolucci, and now Claire Carre!"

3. At the school in Kathmandu we meet a star/diva in the making: a six year old kid named Nice To Meet You.

4. The older girls are completely dismayed when they ask Charles who his family members are and he only mentions mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law. They seem certain that Claire must be his bossy wife.

5. And... they tease "look at the pretty girl," as Claire walks into the conversation, a bit confused.

6. The Buddhist Temple: wherein prayer flags flap in the mellow breeze and vegan food calls from the third story of a bookstore/restaurant.

7. How Could We Forget! that en route to Bandipur we rode gondola cable cars to a mountaintop temple. Goats get one-way tickets only on the open cars...ugh...

8. We fly back from Pokhara...and Claire is hit by balloons filled with sewer water. This is getting bad... and so we conclude...

9. The party is over, the sun is up, and the host's parents are home. Time to get the H out of Dodge.
