Ahhh.. Kathmandu!

I am so amazed by this little country and all of it's beauty. I have learned a lot in the last 2 days and it has been humbling. We as Americans are so full of ourselves and think that the world revolves around us… I met a monk yesterday who was so kind and sweet and had no idea where Hawaii was, much less anything about the USA. He is from Tibet and has lived in India for 20 years. He showed me pictures of his monastery and it was beautiful!!  The people here are very kind and willing to help you because let me tell you … it is very difficult to walk around here without getting lost and risking your life! There are no street signs so a map is useless and they don't care which side of the street they drive on… and motorcycles and bikes will run you over in 2 seconds! Also I was in a  taxi and the driver picked up 4 extra people with me in it!! No big deal except the cars are extremely small and they just sit on your lap, no big deal! The family got out and thanked me profusely… I loved it! Tomorrow I head to Bhutan, I am ready and can't wait! I am also finally starting to feel like myself again, they were not kidding that it would take a few days to adjust.
Oh and the food!!!  The bottom picture is a true Nepali meal!! It was spicy and delicious!!!
