Nepal - Kathmandu

Aside from the fact that I can't get that Bob Segar song out of my head, Kathmandu has been a nice little break from the rigors of life on the road, as it is well set up for traveling with all sorts of cheap places to stay, eat and drink. I've managed to while away several days here doing not really much of anything, and it's been great.



Crowded market street:

Check this one out - it is a closeup of the wood carving on the temple shown above (made me blush):


Rickshaws waiting for customers outside a temple:

So, it's back to what Jeeheon refers to as the 'full metal jacket cut'. It's too long to go into here, but let's just say when the lady pulled out a pair of those utility scissors with the orange handle, I knew I was in trouble. She eventually called in her husband, who quickly went to work with the electric clippers:

Bill,

Nice haircut. Are they going to do your eyebrows too next time? We think your eyebrows might be longer than your regular hair after the cut.

If you paid $1.50 again for that haircut you paid $1.50 too much.

How come there aren't any Christian churches that have stained glass windows equivalent to that temple carving? That would be awesome if they have a picture of biblical figures going at it.
