Next door is the paradise of hell — Nepal travel 12 (12)

2.14 Thursday Day 10, widening-cloudy, Kathmandu clear to cloudy

Walking in Kathmandu

Naga is a broad, is located in the hills of the town, facing the Himalayas, be able to see the magic mountain view and the Sunrise, the place will probably never be known.

However, for the allocation of people, there's nothing, because God does not help. Wake up in the morning, opened the curtains I'm disillusioned, the top of a cloud, in mists, also can expect to see what it is better to continue to sleep.

Na widened, really cold, than we are in the vicinity of Poon Hill 3000 meters of cold mountain, and sooner or later all the more so because it is estimated that this piece of small mountains alone, without a shade no retaining, remind haven't donkey to more clothes.

We live in a Hotel View Point with another good hotel Resort is next to The Fort, while occupied the commanding heights, but the biggest drawback is the door can't find taxi, we had to carry big packs come a long way before they were halfway to find a car going down the Hill by Jeep, of course, is black, the benefits are great, the car without previous days huddled Dadaists, after several rounds of owner doesn't allow us to 1000Rs paspa references to the temple.

Car out for a few minutes, two blonde stopped the car, apparently want to take our rideshare, Belle how can refuse the request, since the car was packed.

Greeting a few sentences later, we learned that they both are Austria, to Nepal is teaching, specific contents to guide local preschool teachers, rather than directly to the child classes, and they have been in India for seven months similar work! it's not easy, that European ideas and we really don't like, they do volunteers as a very common thing, but no matter how hard they are willing to conditions for this offer, this spirit is indeed commendable!

Jeep driver is a Tamang people, not many at first, all of a sudden in Belle after boarding, they began to dance of the stop when he starts talking but also completely open, we talked a lot of things, he said that he was born his father only 14 years old, and he got married at the age of 19, sounds a bit exaggerated, but it seems to us a maximum of early marriage is premature senescence, this driver is only 29 years old, looks at least had approaching 40! later we also talked politics, hair, religion, nationality, etc, but because the chat very rise of the old man's speed is slower, more open all hours is not open to Bhaktapur, let us patience and had to stop to chat, let him faster speed, otherwise it will affect our day trip later.

Vehicle to the road began to encounter large traffic jam, the driver was moving up the cleverness, cut a few trails, subtly to bypass the blocking of roads, however reach paspa references to the Temple also has more than 10 points, he should also require money, saying that he cut corners helped us a lot of baloney, preceding the time wasted by him, that we don't pick him.

Paspa mention temple as Nepal India Christians in the Holy Land, we have pressure root never go in to look at, despite the continued guidance we go to the ticket office, or only in the perimeter took some photos.

As for many foreigners are interested of cremation, our view is that this is a very personal thing and should not go to disturb the dying person's family.

Our next stop is won, if the references from paspa wear inside the temple, it seems that way in the past will be, but we have not entered the temple, you can only have around from the outside, along the way, many times, and finally arrived in half an hour later the famous large stupa, Pagoda of ticket prices, to get to know 100Rs, to the Holy Land of Tibetan Buddhism: a complete turn around a stupa of the runner, the side of the temple incense, devout followers of an ascetic, numerous, are evidence of this sacred place.

Remind in Nepal don't comment a living large Lama, don't put the religious and political links too tight, the majority of believers, he is merely a religious leader, and for Canada are full Street and the living as well as other types in a vain attempt to split China publications, we do as long as they do not exist.

Thamel from Baldur na to forget the car price, quick to having a movie Thamel, police, road closures, refused to bypass driver in the car, we can only discounted pay, even though the driver does nothing to say "thank you, sir."

Before going into the Thamel, soliciting a bunch of people to introduce their GH, in where to live at will without direction, we can find a restaurant to eat lunch, time is not premature.

Restaurant called Brezel Bakely, at the name to bread-based industry, but the taste good dinner. Use the time to eat, we quickly through the LP, finally decided to go to Hotel Horizon to see if there's a room because there are relatively quiet.

Thamel Hotel Horizon is located in the main streets of the South side was a city schools, the door equipped with security, the day that saw each guest will be very polite to say Namaste, on the night shift that is a bit exaggerated, suddenly stood up King a strange ritual, lengbuding scary, huh, huh.

We went double room is gone, we only want two triple room, a restaurant, offer 900Rs also to 3000Rs two rooms in two days. A short break, we once again set off with all core areas — du bus Plaza visited.

Go back to change money, and only RMB Ququ, there are a couple of small H, they changed us what exchange rate I am not sure that we for RMB exchange rate is 1: 8.8, than when you arrived in Canada are high.

We walk the route du bus Plaza is according to the recommended line on LP out of the way there

Many small spots, many monuments were drowning in town, don't have a taste. Intermediate to go through a local bazaar, a hilarious, we plan the next day shopping at the insist that Mart shopping around, believe something cheaper than Thamel.

Unknowingly entered into the scope of the square du PA, Plaza toll area is not large, but building a centralized, fare 250Rs, the overall feeling is as before a lot of people described, it is better to Bhaktapur and Pago Tan, square there is an additional ticket for the Museum, we do not have to go in.

The most attractive to our is living Goddess's home — the Gallery Mary Temple, living Goddess after 4 p.m. every day in the window open a moment, but you are not allowed to take pictures (LP says this "program" canceled, but we went again, probably library with Mary's guardian Plaza management agreement).

We arrived too late, in temples, and so on for a long time.

Mary temple inside the library is in fact very small, there are three exterior window on a gold frame, we used to think that libraries Mary is from this window to appear, you do not want to actually be in the form of a small courtyard in the inside, the results are the key to this fan's window. Almost 4 in 10 minutes, the small courtyard of the temple which is already a wall full of States, a woman first tourists in the window on the heads, made the crowd an uproar, and then a tour of Japan team asked us not to take pictures with loud, 2 minutes and the library Lady Mary was finally reveal the truth, lying in the window looked to the downstairs vigilant, however, at that moment, standing at the back of a European tourists (their entire team it is Eastern Europe, is not very educated, jumble) lifted camera ranches moment Ah, living Goddess dizzying turn away, never to appear ... Two minutes later, the former lady with Nepal language with that guide said two sentences, then tour tell you goddess today won't come out, please come back the next day, however! Halo there was 2 seconds the strong contempt for the European!.

By the way, if you prepare multiple entry du bus Plaza, can go to the library on the edge of Mary Temple not far from the Plaza management service for free, pass to us check out 5 days, although we subsequently did not go.

From Temple to the East, there's Bally shops, is said to be Nepal National only world famous luxury brand boutiques and luxury combined with classical, really has a lot of character.

Find a car to go to the monkey Temple, 100Rs, is the path to the test driver level.

Monkey Temple is located on a small hill, height up to Shanghai Sheshan almost half steps, followed by a very steep slope more than 60 degrees, the mountains have many monkeys and gain the name, but also could be combined with all of the commanding heights, watching the sunset. Interesting is the ticket office at the top of the Hill, and if you go up, do not buy tickets go in is the waste of energy, so can only be good for money. Monkey temple's main building is in fact pagoda, did not leave us much impression on it at sunset, not imagined beautiful.

There are two mountain small Featurette, a Ququ began to fear is high, all the way to hold the handrail to flutter fibrillation slightly down, because they feel sure there is no danger that everyone and no one to help her, like a fiasco in the following way, looking at her, took her "ugly", hehe; second, to the mountain I'm going to find a taxi, the driver of the first point I feel familiar, and even offer words are familiar with, he looked at me seems to be familiar, until small H they down, just understand it is to throw in the morning we left for drivers, beat it, immediately a blow.

Dinner meeting at the request of, go to Leena Third Eye Restaurant eat India cuisine is refined, environment, there is heating, waiter was very gracious, we point out India-"crusty", roasted spring chicken, not to be missed are the Curry, then we finally know not every India restaurant has fly pie, at least this is not the meal to eat a little bit of luxury, cocktails and drinks will have spent a lot of money, think about coming home, should also be some in Nepal good tasty meal.

After lunch in the Thamel stroll around for a while, bought some small souvenirs, maps, and indeed is not cheap.

There are many home Pub came or jazz or rock rhythms, street national visitors thronged, I really enjoy this atmosphere, in Nepal, trekking is my favorite, traditional architecture to me just seen it, the rest can attracts me is the atmosphere, also a bit to return true.
