Re: Things you didn't know about me!

I was a member of a medicinal plant expedition in Nepal in 2001. My team catalogued plants that were used for medicine by healers (not many left there) and then presented our report to the King of Nepal in Kathmandu. He declared many of the plants endangered or gave them special status as the poor in Nepal can't afford things such as antibiotics, so they would have to rely on medicinal plants for health. A few days after our visit, he was shot dead by his son, the Crown Prince.
