We arrived to Kathmandu on Saturday afternoon. We checked in some hotel and went walking around a bit. Our eyes opened wide, we got so excited. It just looked like heaven! well, maybe it only looks like that after coming from India, I can't say, but that's how I felt. Lots of shops of course, nice stuff (I almost didn't buy anything in India and here I did and will do more :-), and also pubs with music, restaurants that look decent. The streets are cleaner than in India. The people are nicer, I think.
In a few days in Kathmandu I didn't do much. I will write about some of the sight seeing in separate posts. I simply enjoyed soaking into the atmosphere, eating good steaks (look in the pictures, but we shared it between 4 of us, I didn't go crazy :-), drinking "OK" beer, great croissants for breakfasts...
In one of the first days we went to a temple known as the "monkey temple". It's not the formal name of course, but so many monkeys live there, the name is self-explanatory. The temple itself is not that impressive but the view on Kathmandu is lovely. Also the way,

And in Hebrew as well... not like in India though. Swissa is a known Israeli place here, more Israeli than "habad"
walking through the non touristic parts of Kathmandu was interesting.
