Yesterday we went to the Gurkha Museum. The Gurkhas are the toughest fighting force in the world. To join the Gurkhas, one of the tests you have to do is run uphill for 5 km carrying 25 kg of rocks in a tradional doko basket. Some people want to be in the Gurkhas so badly; they will continue to run even if they have broken bones.
You can tell a Gurkha, because they carry very big curved khukuri knives.
We caught a public bus to the museum. It was so crowded!

ReplyDeleteHey Cody and Taiga, I actually already knew about the Ghurkas. I must have read a book or seen a movie about them. Yes they had to be very tough. A bit like the Canadian Mounties, or the French Foreign Legion. You both seem to be having such a lot of fun and learning new things, thats really great. Stay safe and well, love nana and koro.
