Religion and nature-Nepal Travels 2

The third day, 27 April 2004

By melodious birds sound wake, a good night sleep I open my eyes, the alarm clock points to 8: 40, calculate åœ — äº¬æ — ¶é — ', point 11 should be fast, it seems that yesterday was troublesome.

2 personal dilly-dallied of climbing up, 9: 30 out of the gate, because today's itinerary more idle, so routinely, once again riding the local-bus, to the city centre, then transfer to bus 26 road, went straight to the city of patan.

May be accustomed to it, and today this long trip, and no I was stifling, but presence of mind to stay up with all of the people's life.

Plus all of the school seems to be very late, 10 o'clock time also can see the dress uniform children go on the road in twos and threes, I found the young girls of Nepal also can wear short skirts, enjoying new life, once adult, a life-long himself hides in fancy Sally behind.

I just saw full street of Sally, never seen several female clothes. On the contrary, Nepal's men is rather Westernized, especially young people, t-shirts, jeans are commonplace, which also shows the status of women in Nicaragua. In addition, I found almost all the local schools, to the "**" logo in the English school, people seem to have English as a foreign life of required courses, its importance goes beyond all other courses, meditation, and this is no way that this tourism-the only pillar industries of the State, learn English is mastered a their earning skills, thus, full street guides, drivers, small street vendors can fuck with a good command of English and your bargaining, let us these so-called college students pales, really ashamed.

Far as Quentin, the flow is less obvious than Canada, the ancient city of quiet vision.

2 personal chaos go in the city, enjoying the building antique building, it is hard to imagine that those who had one hundred buildings or some Greeks nurtures the now. Monuments, a Manchu corner might have a shrine, large or small, or formal or humble, many local people are devout to their gods blessing. We sauntered in Flagstone path, as in the previous century, Z inadvertently discovered the original ancient golden-temple, Centre, spend 50 rupees, the door, I saw an enormous turtle is creeping in the Sun, the Sun it that thick dorsal shell, full of pigeons to stop with the surrounding walls, the Golden angle beam glittering in the Sun, the mood is dignified, rich cultural atmosphere around me, weilang, dark rooms, several of the Nepalese people are sitting next to an elderly monks, doing rituals, in the presence of extraneous vegetable and fruit flowers, flowers, with monks chanting sound of grunt, constantly to each sow some white particles, like rice. Sitting in a long time jinmiao because reluctant to go quietly watching fat mouse in the room up to channeling Liang, listening to the Dove flew past tense air yiming issued.

Walked, has found the despatin of du bus Plaza, a chuckle because this means that we save on the cost of the tickets for the 400 rupees.

Then began a sulky yesterday why so honest in all buy tickets? square temples, also very dense, many are maintained for more than a century of monuments, think of domestic Revolution destroyed a large number of monuments and buildings, sadly.

Take a look at the time not earlier, we would like to find a place to solve the problem, a stomach, found next to the Plaza has a second floor restaurant, very special, a bit like embroidered floor, ancient China, then filled it up the stairs, the Greeks again demonstrates our China's strong economic strength.

Is eating, a thunder Plains, clouds, in the blink of an eye, bean large rain pouring down, thus, my foresight was the highly praised Z. In the restaurant observation for a long time, there are many foreigners are holding a "Lone Star" called the taxi to go straight to the shop, it seems that the restaurant's reputation is not small.

Enjoy out rain, 2 people rushed into the opposite despatin Museum, a century old palace, known as the South Asian subcontinent's best Museum, spend a huge amount of 250 rupees, if tickets to the history of long Xiang stream.

The Museum of things mainly copper products, accounting for most of the Buddha, many of whom are excellent. We stayed at the Museum nearly 2 hours, discover the Palace's garden has been transformed into a open air coffee, unfortunately just rain that the stool is wet, otherwise I could not help, it will be a Emperor addiction.

Leaving the Museum, call a taxi and go straight to the swayambhunath Hill (the monkey house), on the mountain, see swayambhunath Buddha, and is the largest stupa, also known as the monkey Temple.

As the name implies, the monkey nature are many and are not afraid of people, many local people have brought dry food and biscuits to feed them. One of the boys in red, perhaps want to be our guide, always follow me and said: "you are beautiful, I like you." My nature is elated, but do not dare to wear, had to pretend to be calm unto him a thank you.

Here is the highest point, with all the famous view plus all of the viewing platforms, or overlooking the plus is a distant mountains, or, layer upon layer of clouds of mountains, blows the wind chime in, really pleasant.

We interdependently in sunset, look at the Temple of the little monk happily playing with shuttlecock, watching countless monkeys in the pagoda on liberty, watching the sun slowly down the mountain, looking at the sky slowly faded, looked at the foot of the lamp time, lit, but the clouds in the sky is too thick, unable to see the sky full of stars and zhenghui, however, this was enough, really.

Back when it was all dark, at the foot of the store bought a large bottle of Coca-Cola, to 60 rupees, we are too expensive and nagging, so simple boss from the adjacent Temple found a young Lamas.

Mouth, turned out to be the standard of Chinese, I greatly surprise (known to all, I have a special little guy has preferences), and pestering xiaoshuai Lama asking Bette questions, ColaThings to remember. After I ask, I know xiaoshuai lamas from Tibet, 11-year-old arrived here, has spent 7 years, now 18-year-old, he is here, because there is a very famous temples, wait until the practice to a certain level, you can go to Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places to go to the "work"! excited, of course, is not hesitate to buy a bottle of expensive Coke, Z also bought a package of cigarettes (according to his taste was later revealed, presses Chinese alcohol, and exceptional value!) of course we also offer good tomorrow to go to his temple school visit, Z also want mixed meal vegetarian food taste.

By the way, the name: xiaoshuai Lama Lobsang Tenzin Sen (transliteration).
