Gorkha Airlines (pink)A natty Nepalese number in translucent pink plastic. "Fly with us the gallant way", it exhorts. "Gallant" meaning to pretend you're fine when you're really as sick as a yak. But what's this? Holes punched down the side of the bag? "We put it in a ring binder for you until you arrived in Nepal", explained the perpetrator of this crime, Shuva Sharma. I've tried to explain that a bag with holes is useless both for puking into and for collecting. Somehow, I don't think he understands. Thanks anyway, Shuva. (2000) |

Gorkha Airlines (brown)A somewhat-less-natty number from the same airline. The design looks as if it's been hand-painted onto the plastic -- a novel way to employ people in the Himalayan kingdom. It now says "galiant" rather than "gallant". The winged logo at the bottom features what looks like a plane flying upside down, but which Narayan Bhattarai assures me is a pair of crossed Gorkha khukuri knives. Thanks, Narayan. (2000) |
