Khatmandu

Khatmandu is dangerous- because the shops are full of so many amzing things you will want to buy everything! It is known as "the backpackers disneyland" bc there is soo much to do here. It is like amsterdam. Our first night here we made some friends that took us to a traditional Napali "club" with dancing and singing in napali. I couldnt understand it but it was still fun!

There was about 1348975469000 stairs we had to walk to the top of a temple. They call it the "monkey temple" and you can see why! If you look closely you can see one of the monkeys is on the railings.... he actually started at the top and slid the WHOLE way down.... similar to how we would on a staircase banister. It was so amazing!! I could watch monkeys all day...

Temples in the Square, most built in the 1500's

Cows are sacred animals here so we see them roaming around in the most random places, untouched. Here they are just hanging around at this temple. They are often in the middle of the streets too.

Busy crazy traffic

I have been feeling sick lately. I got what is known as Giardia... which is a parasite you can get from a number of things- the water, the meat, ect... you get really bloated and nausious, diahrea, dizzy,your stomach is doing non stop summersaults, fever, headache. =( loss of apetite. When we were in Darjeeling I had to go to the hospital bc it wasnt going away- I had it for like a week strait. The doctor had me lay down and he felt my stomach and actually laughed... saying he did not need to test mystool... that it was obvious to him I had it. So he put me on antibiotics. It went away and things were great, but it recently came back. Yesterday I had it the worst. Really felt feverish. Forced myself to eat dinner so I could take some more antibiotics. But today I woke up feeling wonderful!

Health is something to be very thankful for!
