Nepal overview

I'm not rewrite geography book, so don't want to spend too much ink write what geographical location, population, or anything, I just want to make this more than ten days on Nepal's true feelings written down.

Mountains of Nepal in the South West of China, Tibet and surrounded by India, South East Asia is small, and the time difference between Beijing + 2 hours 15 minutes.

Overall, the Kingdom of Nepal is a backward country from its airports can look out, domestic and international strictly separate, International Department is small and medium-sized cities in China, and the domestic airport is China's small airport in small cities, the most critical is the degree of automation, information is extremely low, baggage weighing weighing only international departure place is electronic, the other is a table-type, secure checking basically rely on the artificial body searches, scan the system estimates the nation only 3 units, both in the capital airport.

There is no airport inside basic electronic information display system (also in the international departure exceptions), the domestic departure boarding all attendant shouted, so everyone is afraid to miss their flight.

Leave the airport at the street, no spacious road, streets are the twists and turns, holes in the road, people, non-motor, motor mix line, follow the right driving India programme, there is no traffic lights in the street (even if there also is a forged), dangerous moment exists.

The road worthiness of almost all India production of Suzuki, Isuzu, trolley, similar to a domestic fresh Alto, Changhe, some Japanese good car, believe that are rich in best of, taxi is the new Kia or Korea modern car, or who did not know what the old to the style of Toyota Corrola ... There is no standard apartments, from the air overlooking the is like ten years ago a shantytown in Shanghai, there is no uniform planning. mess

Nepal is a country with extremely poor resources, most notably in the power gap, before I knew there was a power outage, a common occurrence to know even the capital, and daily fixed power airfares, weekly rotation, many hotels have their own small generator for this, but most of the Guest House does not have, with the possibility of exceptions to the is the Thamel district, at least in two days time did not stop over electricity; I guess no electricity because of the lack of the dry season in Nepal, unable to drive hydraulic resources, we are in the water and electricity are seen every river is dirty and smelly and the water is rare, really do not know all of the tap water is added to the production of ...

Oil is capital strategy, it is estimated that Nepal itself does not produce oil, we have also met with gasoline and diesel oil tensions, compared with the previous phase of the country and only see the tank car is likely to oils, where no one queue stations are no oil ...

A few days of the tour has not seen a specific industry, only see a few sticks of chimney wanton risked smoke, its direct consequence is the entire Plus are rock bottom eg layer grey fog, air pollution, road police were wearing masks, nevertheless still suspect that their life is significantly lower than the average life expectancy of people in Nepal (allegedly Nepal's life expectancy is about 60 years old).

Mountain country agricultural farming basically rely on the terraces, costs more, so according to Beijing in Nepal who say their food cost to much higher than China's big cities, despite their income lower than Chinese.

Greeks do not speak health is famous, this point with their neighbouring countries like India, tableware is always dirty, when the mountain on foot, not to mention, so have obsessive or not.

Exchange rate: Nepal rupee Exchange and India rupee hook, fixed 1.6: 1, we have received during the 200 foot India rupee change, indeed the whole passage in Nepal.

Most people will change some money at the airport, out the door can't hire a car, we changed the day of the exchange rate of us $ 50, 1: 61, paying fees, like 200Rs .....! but we also small profit, as little secret next time write travels and others to write when. In Exchange you can bargain Thamel, rarely see Europeans in Money Exchange shop on price, but no one told us to be poor, for a little bit of exchange rate difference also transverse stresses vertical stresses, because India rupee exchange rate volatility, our first in the Thamel change money is less than RMB or 8.5 exchange rate back after can easily Thamel wraps to 8.8, basically experience: RMB exchange price is in the heart of a price increase of us $ increase about 0.3, 0.7-1.0.

Language: the vast majority of Nepal who can speak English, many people also speak well, but their English is slightly Curry flavour, most notably TH, CH sound like, both are directly to TH t of pronunciation, so they say 200 and 300 very carefully as to content.

Communication: many Internet cafes provide international long-distance, Thamel is 40RS minute, I called once, it is because the entire evening my international roaming are no signal, I once thought that cellphone, description of the communications network within Nepal or unstable.
