When I’m in Kathmandu I pass this sign nearly every day when I want to make a foray into the tourist wonderland that is Thamel:

I had been doing so for over six months until Andrew came for a visit and sniggered every time we walked past this sign. Perhaps you’ve already had a snigger too?

See, what I didn’t know, and what the people of Nepal clearly don’t know, is that in some online communities ‘cyber’ is short for ‘cyber sex’ - and so every time Andrew saw this sign and the many like it he found it to be hilarious and inappropriate. It certainly brings a new sense to my favourite internet cafe ‘Meeting Point Cyber.’
