Beer? Beer?

We flew Jet Airways from New Delhi, India, to Kathmandu, Nepal yesterday.  It was a standard jet; the attendants told us how to buckle our seat belts so that if we actually hit the ground at 750 miles/hour we'd be quickly cut in two, feeling no pain; and there was a furious food service. Everywhere but The States a meal is provided, irregardless of the length of the flight (1 hour and 15 minutes in this case) or time of day (1:30PM).  Before the food cart comes down the aisle it's pretty standard to see the drink cart, and we weren't disappointed.

Here they came, the darling Nepalese women, with the drinks.

"Beer?  Beer?" they repeated over and over, handing out 8 oz cans of an unknown brew.

"WTF?" said SuperK.

We waved the stewardesses off.  Soon, the food cart came down the aisle and we were offered Veg or Non-Veg.  No drinks.

Never in my life have I seen this.
