Kathmandu

Pictures HERE!

So, I made it to Nepal…I had a 1 night transit in india, and had visa issue, but it seems that I am the luckiest guy on earth, and I made it without any problem :)

The city is great, the people are friendly and charming. The architecture is also amazing.

I spent most of my days walking around the small busy streets, visiting nice temples…meeting interesting people.

The place is just great, and very cheap! I am able to have a great dinner for under 1$.

I also spent an evening in an orphanage recording children signing. You should hear those kids, they are the best..and they are simply beautiful :)

One night we ended up in an hindu temple, where they do the puja celebration, and where they do the body cremation, next to a sacred river.

I have never seen a cremation before, and I must say. The feeling is weird, strange, and beautiful. There was a big ceremony at the same time, with people dancing, music, and random hindu ritual I cannot really explain.

Anyways, I dont have much time to write right now.

And I am also leaving tomorrow for a 10-14 days trek in the Himalayas.

I doubt I will be able to communicate in any way. But I will post more when I come back to Kathmandu.

Namaste
