Blackout!

P: C didn't want us to post this one, but I think it's funny, particularly as I remember us playing glamorous with our Sanskrit Coke. Note that the spark in C's mouth is not a digital effect, but an actual old school visual effect. Analogue. Light and all.
P: This is Scary P on the Chair...


C: Blackouts happen each day, usually in the evenings. Apparently, they will get longer as it gets cooler and dryer as electricity in Nepal is generated by hydropower. At the moment they last for about an hour or so. Not to bad. We try to make them fun.

P: These blackouts are coordinated by the local government to "load-share" the grid: I believe that the entire city is in fact powered by only one hydroelectric plant just north of the city, and it just doesn't produce enough electricity.
