: I now understand why you are such a well adjusted young (mmm... can we still call you young??!!) man, and not a psychotic axe-murderer with paranoic tendencies. This is how your parents or guardians manage to keep you from strangling the kittens... Sweets did the trick or course!! As they always do. : : : I was often given sweets when I was a child and it did not ruin my life. Actually I quite liked the sweets and the people who gave them to me. So I say - give sweets if you want - it's up to you. : : Ian : : : If you have signed up that means you are going with a company providing support so nothing to worry about. People who have not been before naturally worry about what life out on the trails must be like. The idea of being alone on mountains trails would seem alarming to most people. It can take up to 2 hours between villages and often you will meet no one at all or you might meet youngsters gathering grass in the early morning. When I go birding in Nepal I always head out very early and often return to the village for breakfast and I only meet children or women gathering grass at the very most. Villagers are usually very happy to see trekkers as they know that brings money into the villages. I think your biggest dilemma will be should you give a sweet or two to the children. That's a bigger problem than giving a bit of money to Maoists. If you don't give sweats you are a rich meanie and if you do you are 'ruining their lives' apparently.
