I’ve been lucky recently with good guides. It is especially pleasant when you don’t want or need one, but they are being forced on you by regulations of the place you are visiting, like in Namibia’s Brandberg — home to some of the world’s most famous rock art dating as far back as two thousand years. Gwen, a local Damara girl and our assigned guide, was the only woman guide in Brandberg and, once I got her talking, told me all about how difficult it was to even apply for this job as a woman. The association wouldn’t let her take the guide’s exam (which she must have aced judging from her extensive knowledge of everything growing, crawling and flying around), but she stood her ground and got her way. Respect.

Kamana, an Asian Dining and Bar. Sounds interesting name for a foreigners to find a nepalese food under this name but it is not much surprising to me now. I had best curry dishes and naan Bread there the other day. The food was not much different than an Indian food though. I am impressed with their nice but simple decore, their hospitality and their way of food serving. Crews were foreigners, they speak English pretty well. I am sure it was helpful for people like me who barely speak Japanese.
Restaurant is centrally located in Machida, tokyo, not even 2 mins walk from Odakyu Machida station. Food was good, service was even better, you can try!!
