Go to Nepal, just like a pilgrim who is going to Jerusalem. The 11days in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur makes memory full of my heart, the dark brick wall based city main tones, colorful and vivid doors, woman with vivid sari and water jars passes it in the morning, all people devote their very beginning times to God everyday.
When I see the dead body burning in Pashupatinath temple, the scenario really shock my soul very deeply, tourists sit along with the river bank to take a look at it, the living and death just was separated by a shallow river.
When I walked around the three Durbar squares, the warm sunshine spreads all over the square and into my coffee cup, everyone sits or lays down on the stairs, does nothing but enjoy the leisure time, even the dogs, sparrows and all other animals look like leisure looking. It is said that men in Nepal are the happiest ones in the whole world, but in my mind, the extreme shortage of necessary stuffs in daily life make this kind of feeling fade a lot.
The street snacks is just yummy, especially the mo-mo, buffalo meat dumplings, I can eat more than 30 pieces in one meal, with the local special chili sauce, and it’s dirty cheap! Less than SGD$3 per meal, but due to the dry climate and the very spicy chili sauce makes my lip swollen and hurt so much...
I think there are two special things in Nepal, one is electrical power scheduled shut down, the other is strike, I don't know whether it's fortunately or not, I encounter them both. On the day I return, here comes a strike all over the country, the consequence is neither any public bus nor taxi in operation, even highway also closed. How can I get to airport? It's really troublesome. at last, with the help of local polices, I find a way: A vehicle full of heavy armed cops escalates our car in front to lead the way, there are lots of strikers along the highway, everywhere is the broken bricks, and our car was even stopped by the strikers on half way, I was asked why I appear on there on the strike day...
But finally we arrive at airport and I have to pay five more times fare to the driver due to his "brave". This is the most expensive taxi I take in my whole life.
In one word, this is a really culture hard trip to me, it will be the eternal memory in my life......
