Nepal earthquake: Day 4

Four days after the catastrophic earthquake the situation remains critical in Nepal.

It’s that time of year when we’re bombarded by advertisements urging us to get our bodies ready for the beach. The message seems to be: if you don’t look like the perfect people in the advertisements, you shouldn’t be wearing a bikini (or swimming shorts).
