10/6

Today's plan was to go (BTP) Bard posts stay all day, then back to the Thamel dinner.

Morning in the Thamel ate breakfast, drink to returning to the milk, a little happiness. Called the taxi to BTP, nearly an hour's walk, according to the instructions of the LP only 10km, again feeling LP is not very accurate. One way to see the grass many sheep eating grass, a hunch the Adha draws near. The BTP our back to the good directly to buy tickets, in fact, here's some relatively strict management, if it is from the main entrance into or almost no free riders. BTP's du Pakistan square is more a Palace, was due to the earthquake destroyed many buildings, therefore appear to be complex and not Patan so set, or the existence of amazing Golden Gate and 55 window Palace, maybe a photo more its beauty (happy NET TX can see in the footprint of the Golden Gate and 55 window Palace). Golden Gate door soldiers defending, with M4 (why good people will always be a M4, bad guys are always the AK47?), but this is not your tickets, you are free to enter, guess the so-called Golden Gate really is gold, why so much attention? enter inside the island, also guarded gates, but this time, the only Hindu devotees can enter, tourists are denied access, the soldier was very friendly, let us leave. But just as you can see, here woodcarving, still retains its original color when we realize that these carved beams painted buildings of architectural and artistic works, and our terracotta is the same, the original is colorful, simply because the passage stripped the original color. Even so, these valuable wood in our eyes is a beautiful exception.

Plaza Middle Temple, would inadvertently discovered some little stories, some of the temples of Tan column bottom, you can see some small porn wood carvings, which is also very interesting in this row.

Although before LP there too, but really saw still feel very interesting. Statue of a small note will not be found, carving itself is relatively rough, just can't imagine why there is such a statue there, really want proof? perhaps just a genital worship?

Although the square of the beautiful people hang around, just have a kid has been following us for money, when I told him I did not have the money, he actually used rowing match thrown into my body, I am very angry left, do not want to and what he said.

Sometimes too conniving just kill them, can now be deemed their naughty, but long after they will go from here?

From the front lines of the square du bus turn right, you can reach another TAUMADHI square, and is also a small square, built a few temples, this time once again to experience her husband that the temple see sick feeling, full of temples.

But here are the highest Temple Nepal, almost five floors so high, this is the 18th century, is already a very good building. One of the central square of the ancient building was transformed into the dining room, second floor of a ring of seats are full of tourists. However here again an atmosphere close to KTM's du bus square, the temple was sold in selling chickens, ducks and sell sheep is a farm animal commodities trading market. Leave TAUMADHI square and walked to the South, to the potters square, the square is actually a potters factory, surrounded by a lot of people making ceramics in the Sun not forming of pottery, as my husband on earthware nothing interested, just fold returns TAUMADHI square solve our lunch. Lunch to go before the Raiders also write to the Sunny Restaurant, the food fairly tasty, 3/f, top-level restaurant can see TAUMADHI square in its entirety.

After dinner, the West side of the square to TAUMADHI old town, there is the legendary Peacock window prototype.

In fact, to Bard posts before they plan to buy a Peacock window to take home leave a mark, but from du Pakistan square to square all the way to ask to TAUMADHI, prices vary, I have no husband. The road leading to the old city is so close in spirit, go straight ahead always did not arrive in the end, thought we went to the wrong route, because the LP label is written only 500m, when almost abandoned, passing a woodcarving outlets are a shopkeeper, we pull into the two floor coverings (a bit like Xiangyang road before watch watch bag bag that feeling), close to an hour of bargaining, bought the legendary Peacock window, again in Nepal bargaining is a very hard thing, on the one hand, the language is not very common, even if both sides can speak English, but the pronunciation, basic is we can't understand him they could not understand me, and if you do not get ready to go, they always will bite the bullet does not let go. In the shop, we saw a statue carved Buddha, face kindly soft, delicate decor very, very much, but its price is not pleasing, a statue of Buddha 2500RMB buy back, it seems that is not my style, but unfortunately, give up, but I also get to the statue of Buddha, then any a statue of the Buddha comes pretty, maybe I don't really have on Buddhism.

From the shop, not far from the old town, old town, just as the name is more like a general, but Cang sang feeling still makes me feel pleasantly surprised, at least come out so many road is worth it.

In an alley in the depths of the second floor, there is the legendary Peacock window prototype, the market almost all copies of the Peacock window is it for prototyping, as compared to the narrow alley, unable to get the positive, peacocks window but opposite shops on the second floor of the store, if you bought something here, you can free to Peacock window front, but also as a way of generating income.

The original road returns the square du Pakistan want quiet porch to sit for a while, but seek to candy boy and as a tourist guide of Man Lok Yi, let people stay more motivation.

Ordering a taxi back to the Hotel Thamel. ReturnsWhen the driver is the driver of our time, so there is no bargain directly off the back, the driver can also be in English, so I asked our return from bokhara KTM at what is the big traffic jam. He said that he knows it, may be a cow or other animal was killed by a car, the surrounding villagers to Wai not let them go, resulting as long as 7-hour traffic jam. Hear the story, I all of a sudden storm depressed, we 7 hours trapped Valley, it is for this reason, it's not worth it.

Back to the Hotel to rest is ready to go out to eat, it's raining, we only ate dinner in the Hotel, because of the Beijing Hotel, China opened, so it can eat to returning to the Chinese food, good choice, just burn some habits, after all, raw materials or differences, but Chinese food or let me eat to feel comfortable, in the past few days stay in Nepal, almost every day eat Curry, eaten to the sick.

After dinner, the rain stopped, I heard the second day is local desay section (also known as al-Adha), there may be many shops are closed, in order to not empty-handed, we put on the second day of shopping project lead to tonight.

In the Thamel indispensability for two hours, the originally planned and the previous night on a point of goods are bought together, most funny to few buy Saber.

Gorkha people as mercenaries in world renowned, as they are straightened, blooded, regarded as the best mercenaries. They use special Saber from this famous, knife, as sharp sickle. Because of this saber cutters, we belong to control very worried whether the belt back to Shanghai, but it is really like, ready to fight a buy the smaller a try. We enter a Gorkha Saber shops, which have three northern people are buying, we want to hear their price. The previous day in another Saber shops understand discount can only be hit, so if you have a lower discount is the best. The three northern people and other extremely interesting bargaining process, and finally to 8 fold close, but we offer is of knives, but expensive 1200RS because this knife can be balanced, so to work harder, the price was expensive for other similarly sized, offer only 800RS. We also do not agree with the owner to 900RS, have to be willing to buy 950RS to us. So we have to leave, how many times that we may go back, but still not willing to cheap, in fact, we feel that the storekeeper more fun, so ready to leave, on the way back to press his price to buy one. Upon completion of all the shopping, coincidently went to this shop next door saber to buy things, was in fact not yet aware of the next door is the saber, and went to go to the shop, the shop will give we dragged into it, said 950RS, help us clean the knife, packaging, we were a bit strange, but the shopkeeper has thought to 900RS sold us, but has been reluctant to let go. This is what we encounter in Nepal most funny people.

10/7

Today is the day we left the Nepal, but the flight is in the middle of the night, so we're going to go to the monkey Temple morning and Boda, Temple, afternoon stay at du bus Plaza sit sit, eat dinner after going to the airport.

Tidy up after getting up, back room, bulky luggage storage in the Hotel, and then call the Department of the rickshaw to monkey Temple, although only 2km, but once again feel the actual more than this little road.

However, we do not recommend this super road rickshaw, on the one hand, the road is limps, sitting around a rickshaw ass was killing, on the other hand can only stop at the foot of rickshaw, and taxi can open up, if you want to go a little less, or taxi. However we walked uphill road, saw the Adha landmark actions: slaughter sheep. A sheep's head was prior in a post, a man was not let down the sheep to fiddle with it, and then go on a sword (as previously cut firewood use knives), sheep's head and body, head and body are twitching. Sheep head to sacrifice himself on the dial, the sheep skin boneless Cook and eat the whole process clean. It is said that this festival will be in the early morning of KTM du Pakistan square edges KoTaumadhi Plaza kill 8 head of cattle and sheep, 108, sacrificial blood flowed. Also some India kill sheep believers themselves, the blood shed on wheels, to bless the coming year travelling fellowship (that I can see).

Monkey Temple belongs to the Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, built on top of the Hill to climb the steps above, forget when I count a total number of step, but definitely a lot, because everyone climb found not too.

Uphill all the way, did you see how many monkeys, to the top of the Hill, only to find that the original monkey just active open, everywhere. Monkey Temple stupa is hidden on the typical white, with a Buddha's eye, is one of Nepal's symbol, the wisdom eye Center like nose like a question mark character, represents the number of "Nepal 1", the symbol of harmony, harmony is not only a kind of Chinese culture is also a Tibetan culture. Stupa surrounding other small stupa, Pagoda on the edge of a Hindu temple, the two religions. Since the morning only eat a small bread, after climbing, so after a little hungry in Didi ' s Tibetan Tea shop sat, ate a local bread and tea, so-called bread is actually a flour bread, it may be better, so eat very delicious, locals like to get bread to eat Curry dip.

Leave the monkey Temple Hill Road, monkey seemingly have been waking up stray, husband also took many photos of monkeys.

Called the taxi to go to the Temple of Boudha, block size, hiding the temples than monkey Temple, but the modelling and the monkey Temple not much difference. See the temple see sick of us rush at the left.

Noon directly back to the KTM's du bus Plaza ate lunch, it seems that today's square more hilarious, perhaps because of the feast.

Go to KoTaumadhi square took one look, whatNo, no legendary blood heat a river scene, I do not know is not started or has already ended. Slowly from Hill Street, walk back to the Thamel, find a man named Weizen restaurant sit down point a pot of tea, then began to write our travels. Time quietly flows away, we had in the restaurant for dinner, also saw a European people all over the place to chat, but also by his take on a woman, sitting across from her. My husband and I would like to know curiosity wanted to develop a romance, or just ONS?

Leave the restaurant, the remaining 3000RS swap back to dollars, this difficulty was quite large, they are basically only 100 $ dollar denomination, are reluctant to change, and finally found a Government authorized replacement point, and finally in exchange for a $ 40.

Back to Beijing Hotel luggage, called the taxi to the airport, on entering the airport, security staff must I take out tickets, but we are e-ticket has no tickets, but fortunately I wise with the itinerary, now really thankful to the original decision, security personnel see itinerary will release, although he did not understand the text, but you can read the flight number.

Into the airport first paid 3400RS departure tax, then go to the Office of the boarding pass, it seems that this time period only we this flight, only lasted three window handle, window number is not a problem, most notably staff slow, electronic level low, one time needs at least 5 minutes, so the queue is very old Presbyterian Minister.

Finally good boarding pass on the floor before the first safety inspection, alien departure for them quickly is also very simple, just knock on a stamp on the release, but the local departure, not only need to provide proof of a heap, but also to be asked many questions, but their language I couldn't understand, I do not know what to say. When we sat in the waiting area is only around a quarter past ten, out of the plane there is more than an hour. And airport staff are sitting in front of a television set, watching the unified champion India TV, we can't understand India, naturally can not read. Interestingly, in the airport terminal, there are as many as a cat, elegant, quiet. At first glance, the airport can have a cat, and no person should they keep at it. From there take nearly an hour, and after a second inspection, search, no scanning equipment that email, entirely to touch, a man left a woman on the right, the whole body to touch it again to release. Then enter the off-ramp near the Terminal to continue waiting, in and through the door, finally got on the plane back to Hong Kong. The airport is not big, not many people, the whole lot down hurdles, a total of over 6 door, though a bit of a formality, but still let people find trouble.

Originally our travels ought to this end, but on an airplane or something interesting.

Sitting in her husband's side of a man, Nepal began just a seat, he asked how the law of air hostesses seat belts, air hostesses and he said that he understood. This time her husband and I said, he may be the first to fly. But in my observation after I said may be the first to fly, as well as possible is molested stewardess. Here I am not bs Nepal, just feel that their behavior is a little too, maybe some people more introverted, can't open them. Eating machine meal, stewardess asked him to drink, he describes a stewardess did not understand what he is telling, finally gave him a glass of red wine, he showed he is not the meaning of this drink, but you do not know what to say, the stewardess kept saying Sorry, help her out the wine, he seemed to turn red wine, the result is also a glass of red wine (say I feel engaged), he just drank red wine and hostesses. This time I eat a good thing, and continue to sleep, woke up her husband said that he was, and went to jiuxing hostess chat. Faster aircraft, air hostesses to let him return to his position, but he refused, saying that my hands hold the two sides of the backrest, stewardess repeated stresses the unsafe, estimated he saw so many people looked at him, he had to sit. The aircraft landed, should wait after it stops and then got up and luggage, this dude a stop and stood up, stewardess and helpless to persuade him to a seat. When we are more than four hours at the end of the flight, the husband would say, it really was molested stewardess. Khan!

The Hong Kong Airport transfer, airport slept the sleep, the discovery of gate changes, notify us that no one, not even a brand, it is better to find it not soon, missed.

Smooth at half past arrived in Shanghai.
