... didn't feel like talking to the people in the cafeteria (that would not help my assignment in any way). The secretary first said that there's nobody in the center who could help me because all of the staff is very busy and I would have to make an appointment. When I asked her for the appointment she said that nobody takes care of interviews in the center. Well I was lucky there was another woman passing by and I asked her for help.

... articles, not all of them were related to Everest, therefore, not all of the articles were reviewed. Although there are many mountain environments that are falling prey to man's commercialization, Everest seems to stick out the most. It was in 1922 that the first attempt was made to climb the highest mountain in the world. It wasn't until 1953, however, that a summit was actually successful, thus creating a beginning for mountaineering in Nepal.
