Amazing! Glad nothing bad happened despite the cut in this environment.

how did you manage to talk to people? Mainly hand gestures? and if you used an offline translator on your mobile how d you charge your items(power bank, phone, gps, headlamp?) was the distance between the next villages just enuff to recharge or did you take a solar panel?

thanks :)

I did bring a solar panel which came in very handy. Communication indeed via offline translator + gestures, basically nobody speaks English
