LOLLING at the idea of some British lager lout having it out with a mountain.
Have to admit, that did put a smile on my face

LOLLING at the idea of some British lager lout having it out with a mountain.

I love the way we can justify British people being a##holes abroad. She and her friends were guests in another country, they went out of their way to insult and disrespect the people of that country. They are not 15 year olds, they are in their twenties or older with good educations and they should know better. In my view she is very bit as much a hooligan as any lager loot.
I don't think she should go to gaol but she does deserve to be punished, a heavy fine and be made apologize to the people she has insulted.
but when someone's in actual bother for upsetting a mountain spirit, I think the world in general has gone nuts.
And FKW don't forget.The world has been nuts for a long time. Everywhere has their own rituals and societal code. Our own beliefs are normalized to us because we live them, making every other way of life strange by comparison because we view them through our own narrow lens. We're just as weird, like. People watch Made in Chelsea, worship Bruce Jenner in drag on the front of Vogue, argue over how good a grown man is at kicking a leather ball compared to other grown men, buy bottles of water. There's no end of things we do that might seem completely demented to the fresh-eyed outsider.

Eleanor Hawkins - 24, arrested yesterday in Malaysia, after stripping naked on top of the scared Malaysian mountain, Mount Kinabulu.
She was with a party of ten backpackers who ignored the advice of a local guide not of take their clothes off due to the Mountain being sacred and Malaysia being a conservative Muslim Country.
What did she expect !
Absolutely, that's fair enough.
I'm all for respecting cultures, but when someone's in actual bother for upsetting a mountain spirit, I think the world in general has gone nuts.
Eleanor Hawkins just after being arrested. I'd imagine she'll get a fine and a good telling off, if that.
