Kathmandu

This place is friggin insane. It frenic, noisy, colouful, and slightly overwhelming.

I took a walking tour today which was interesting, hot, sticky, a little scary, and mostly amazing.

I saw bodies being washed and openly cremated by the river. I saw Hindu and Buddhust temples. I saw leppers and beggers of all kinds. I walked right through on-coming traffic, and travelled on public transport called "micros" which are small Suzuki mini vans.

I even had a retailer drop his price with haggling - I think he felt sorry for me - because I agreed to pay $15usd for a shirt without argument.

Overall, its been an amazing day.
