+==== The Hash ====
+
+My friends and colleagues are members of something halfway between a sports club
+and a secret society:
+
+ http://aponarch.com/hhhh/
+
+So I was dragged into this Hash, even though I'm probably one of the laziest man in the world.
+It's like a race, but we don't care who wins: the fun is running through the spectacular natural
+environments of Nepal, searching for hidden indications of the path forward in the form of
+stashes of bits of paper. I'm writing this on Tuesday, and my legs still hurt a lot, but I had
+a lot of fun! Next week I may even be able to complete the whole course ;-)
+
+
+At the arrival, we form a circle and if you get called in the middle for some reason you get to
+drink a lot of beer -- quickly! -- or throw the rest of your cup on your head. Newcomers
+(aka virgins) like me are bond to drink as part of their initiation, but any excuse seems to
+be good for a round.
+
+Here's the full commentary of this week's event with a brief description of me and my knee-high socks:
