Lakeside
You want boat ride? Pokhara is a bit like Phuket, except the Bob Marley music is replaced with 60s rock. Either way, its very relaxing.
The main drag is "Lakeside" which is fairly self-explanatory. I am staying in a cute hotel known as Hotel ABC. I was picked up from the airport and was a pillion on the back of a motor bike with my pack on, not the best counter weight!
The room I am in is very cheap at $10US/night as I am a medical student. It's clean, cheap and I have a balcony to relax and read my Lonely Planet on (such a cliche)
I spent last night relaxing near the lake having a cheap beer and beautiful Nepalese food. I also caught some local performances on the way back home, I had no idea what was going on, except the guy was dancing to "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.
I am glad that I have chosen to be based here, rather than the slightly organised chaos of Thamel in Kathmandu.
Now I have to work out how to get to the hospital tomorrow. "Only two buses" I was told "It's cheeser."
