On the basis of
- my call to the “nations”
- past guidance going back to 1987 when I visited Tibet
- pictures of Chinese Flags and gates
I believed that now was the time to begin to try that door
The “powers that be” however suggested I find temporary work in the UK and explore other ways of returning to Nepal. I did visit a number of Conference Centres to see if they needed someone with my experience and I did apply to VSO but no doors opened.
I did suggest, on a number of occasions that we try the China/Tibet door and eventually it was agreed that we explore that option
