The Dalai Lama gets a medal - we get a holiday

I asked if there were any special ceremonies or events planned for Wednesday, but so far no one knows anything. The holiday came at a convenient time as I need to go to the Indian embassy to apply for a visa, but I'd like to hang around if something special is planned. This being Nepal, many such things happen at the last moment.
