Immigration - still pen and paper, feels like the 1980s.
 

in Nepal, all tourists are welcomed with a garland of local flowers , it is deemed rude to remove it before u get into your room once presented

English standards are a little behind, but they do really try. Local policeman flutter between legal and unlegal.

One of the many 'generic' and claiming to be selling 'authentic' Nepal antiques and handicrafts shops. Bargain for at least 20% off quoted prices.

Education is also deemed as important here. My respect to the kids who walk kilometres to school everyday

Livelihoods in Kathmandu

many prefer to run their own mom&pop shops, selling whatever they can :) Here profits are ranked 2nd as most of the time we always see the shopowners more busy having a cuppa of coffee/tea with their neighbors than running the shopfronts.

Last day fooling around and preparing all the equipment in Kathmandu area :)

Lovely beach in Nepal. This place blew away my expectations of Nepal being all 'mountains' and 'hills'
