08-Oct-Nepal trip-12 days (pago Tan, monkey Temple)

Today we are going to go, this is despatin another once Kingdom, is not too far away.

We always get up very early so that one day would become very long. The THAMEL Street in the morning, no night lights shine and fabulous items of decoration, like handling a makeup girl, repress the vicissitudes of life and had wished, street side always has a heap of small hill like disgusting trash, the air was full of acid odour, whenever this time, I always thought, that's life, that's life, never perfect, you're intoxicated with its magnificent monuments, finely crafted in the process, you also have to get used to it's dirty, unordered, congestion and pollution.

See taxi opening is 300RS, I think the price is too ridiculous, we decided to go and sit by the locals of minibuses, THEMAL Street is no bus, we walked along the Palace direction walking, saw footbridge following a lot of light, but the driver generally do not understand English, not always very enthusiastic passerby, after a lot of people pointing and lead the way, we finally got around to despatin car, this time in the morning to go in this direction are particularly rare, we get on the train when the car sat a man, the driver package with a colorful scarf wrapped header, is definitely a cool boy, don't wait long before cars set off, the driver said local words pointing to us, we do not know the reason why, thanks to the front passenger return fare with English tell us, we pay the 24RS fare repeatedly come in front of the passenger, Pamela Tan told us to get off the man smiling nod.

The car along the Palace Street straight on this road looks very good, both sides of the road there are also some modern shops and banks, we have seen real estate advertising, advertisement depicts the happiness of the picture, it seems to have been advanced to lead the people of Nepal poverty, through a park, see inside hundreds of people are with yoga, we were pleasantly surprised to discover a modern Nepal fashion.

The car to a stop at the edge of the main road, the front passengers back to tell us, walk along the road about 10 minutes walk is the Pago Tan.

The station by the side of the road, this is completely different than we are familiar with the crowded, dilapidated of Nepal, where pedestrians wearing are clean, roadside saw a place like a school, we closed the iron look inwards, with flowers, is very beautiful, the end of the road are extending in all directions of the alley, this is bafatan.

We went into the streets, people had already started the morning busy alleys open some to buy daily necessities and handicraft shops, the road to clean both sides trimmed, is three or four-storey house, looks not too old, the walls have been painted, with occasional inclusion a has a bright exterior walls and large balcony Deluxe Villa, walking in the streets of param Tan, the feeling of the ancient city has been lost, only scattered in the courtyard of the temple, which had once belonged to the Kingdom's long history.

Ancient and modern forever is a rightness of Antinomies, how to coordinate is testing the wisdom of urban Manager.

Pago Tan lane

We because there is no entrance from bafatan into the town, before you know it should save the ticket, Tan town, so here you do not need to have a map, you can free to mess around, from clothing and living environment can be felt here in people's lives better many markedly.

We went into a big yard, there is a group of young people are playing badminton, playing very well, the yard there is a sunken of drains, a man is on a small mirror, carefully blowing beard, yard those tall trees and dwelling house of flowers on the window, you can tell us the people living here.

Go on, as far as the Titans, du bus Plaza Plaza here compared to Kathmandu and de post is the smallest of all the temples in the square is very intensive but it did not give the feeling of confusion, it may be because there is a specialized trade and Commerce of God's temple, the entire du Pakistan square or even entire bafatan, are managed very prosperous.

Here is gonna make you feel most comfortable, you'll never get tired and do not be afraid, the Royal Palace on hanging long wooden chair, the chairs you probably didn't take to position, because here is the local old people love, but don't worry, all of the temple there is significantly below the top of the base, ready for you in this meditation, trance.

But the platform opposite the Royal Palace, is the children and the pigeon paradise, children in platform chasing around feeding doves, pigeons be interrupted from time to time to fly, even the children are happy to dance. Tall cylindrical on Mara King, silently bless his Kingdom.

Square of the Dove

On the edge of the Palace also has a large sink drains, along the stairs down the drains, gutters around carved wood dragon to life by the monster, Monster's mouth water from flowing out to the various water, foreign tourists on this always with great curiosity, they took the camera to a wash of people to pups photographed carefully, I admire or locals, even in so close-focus, still quietly for his own work without interference.

Sitting at the top of the base, commanding I occupies a superb location, therefore always find lots of interesting things, I was deeply in love with this place, a permanent loss of time around, I just sit here quietly, watching those temples carved in an effort to comprehend a supernatural stories he told us of good and evil, although these are just a pretext of hubris, reflect those of the original rulers of real intentions, but sincerely appreciate their imaginations.

If one of the unfortunate breach rulers will be executed, so damned souls will be day and night in hell was friedSimmer, torture plain engraved around the temple, always in warning people. Faces of the Temple of pole carving, bath from love in various postures, drunk with this interesting contrast to remind General sentient beings, obedient to enjoy endless joyful, rebel only endless torment, it seems that no matter the heaven, the rulers of manipulation is similar, is always in one hand and candy, a hand with a stick.

Husband holding the camera finally surrounding around enough, we decided to go to the coffee shop next to drink a cup of hot coffee, the coffee shop is home to old, from the wall hanging of old photos that you can see, the shopkeeper is his grandfather introduced the live pictures of the local people are a large family living together, just like the previous us.

We sit on the top floor terrace, this time guests special little balconies on the two of us, drinking, gorgeous hot coffee with our own bring bread, overlooking the entire du bus Plaza, and those in the square random tourists, a morning so slowly slip away.

We cross the square du bus, when a group of children in hand at the center of the square, kicked her husband never pass up this opportunity to press the shutter, smart child piled around us that a beautiful girl asked me to chocolate, I have nothing to eat, can only tell her cute little girl said to me, I know what you have, but you refused to give us.

I said I really have no, or I walk with you together to dance, so our hand in the square just turn the ring, laughter echoed through the skies for a long time, the moment when I wrote the scenario, I still feel the children give me immense pleasure.

We are dancing

Here's the Palace is not allowed to visit in the morning I was gently pushed the edge behind the doors of the Palace, was immediately inside the security signal cannot be allowed.

But when we walked past the Palace of the afternoon at the door, the door of two personal constantly motioned us in visit, look at our two doubts that people very humorously added: this is free of charge. Be allowed to visit the Palace of a place designed for sacrifice, just like a yard, walls hung with long bovine intestines, when that person also shouted and waved goodbye to us.

We're here to find buses to monkey Temple, from the du bus de Tham at the main entrance of the square, and her husband walked into a shop to shop to make to the monkey Temple car, enthusiastic owners tell us that there is no car to the monkey Temple, must to Kathmandu Post Office there (one way), and personally took us to travel.

This is a three-wheeled motorcycle, two rows of very narrow seat, car seat full of people, it began to rain, small Mo's is extremely well-positioned in the street, the speed is not humility, I and my husband a relative to sit with the husband took the camera and shooting, we both have no doubt that choose to sit in the local car is a sensible, wait until the post office has left us two, drivers and introduced us to another car, driving is a female driver, then rain is slowly becomes small, this time seems to the monkey Temple are particularly rare, this trolley fares are 25RS.

The car in the East of the monkey Temple came to a halt, a Buddhist temple built in the mountains of the mountain and climbed the hill overlooking the entire Kathmandu excellent scenery, and is known as the monkey Temple is here has long been a monkey took a whole, we put everything into the bag and began to step up, step is high and long, sinewy monkeys in the trees on both sides, hillside hopping on both sides of the stage is a small booth in the local setting, each in the hands of the local people are holding a slingshot, suddenly a cry baby's rocketing, turned out to be a child just sell cucumber into the hands of the received the cucumber, the clever monkey raided and shut er speed robbed, you now know that spring is used to do a long step can't head, finally saw the pair-specific vacant Buddha's eye, we know what is going to the monkey Temple, but also one step, first to buy the tickets here.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the monkey Temple far we imagine the grandeur and Majesty, towering above the white dome has a golden square building, the entire body is made of stone, all painted Buddhas eye, watching the multitude, Buddha eyes in our mortal appears to be so versatile, we look at the monkey Temple, the place is very small, white dome around also built various temples and statues, before the temple worship of anything yet, and so are people go away, the monkey on the first point of looking for a damn monkey put things upset all the old also hand must longer cut everywhere, but local people for animals but it is always good temper, monkey is a universal religion of Nepal the fear of an animal.

I'm holding on by her husband, being a monkey attack.

Monkey Temple

Standing on the clouds of the monkey Temple, waiting to see sunset in Kathmandu is unlikely, looking to the distant Valley, the House of the high density of unimaginable, low crummy building blend into each other, in the middle is the fresh green grass, a little open space, the children are for kite-flying competition, lined up in some row of dense, listening to the password grabber of kite flying in the sky over the longest of the kite is the winner, this is the country of a traditional game, the children are very well versed in that time, multicolored kite flying Yang throughout the monkey Temple, grey sky over the mobile landscape is dotted with vigor.

Today's sunset finally or absent, we walked along the East of the Cascade Mountain, steep ladder from above see Prestudy, or foreigners, all the way to the top of a child, we hurry to the mountain only dare to slowly step towards the next move, but always watch out for those monkeys down followed the instructions, our LP walking about 1 hour to go back to the THAMEL, intermediate after some local residence, shops selling clothes, all made in China, the Earth is full of holes in the road of the reservoir, much the way is with the people of the motorcycle, the gray sky plus serious car

Exhaust, to bring people to the suffocation.

Today in a wandering outside the whole day, just want to eat something delicious things, listening to your partner, we in the THAMEL Street momotaro eat Japan Japan restaurant, the restaurant is very small, the inside decoration in General, but business is very good, proprietress and boss are authentic Japan, very kind, very delicious things, it is cheap, so after a few good meal we have always been here to eat.

As usual, feasting Street, as is the voice of a noisy bustling, night of THAMEL is always enthusiastic, we bought a large cans of ice brought back to the hotel, go to the balcony enjoy two of the world of quiet, however, we climb up to the balcony, and there is a help foreigners as early as in the balcony and playing cards.

In the dark balconies, we both sat on the couch, share the pot ice cream, also share the journey of all kinds of hardships and happy
