Going Country In Nepal

The bustle and pollution of Kathmandu are good motivators to encourage one to get out of the city and see some rural life. Oh, did somebody say you can see the Himalayas? Done.

You think the Himalayas just start in some flat parking lot? Nope, smaller mountains and unnamed hills are standard terrain in Nepal. So is farming. If you want to grow a crop, time to terrace. During February, the yellow flower of mustard seemed to be the crop most often grown.

A beautiful day for laundry, in this case, all the linen from our hotel. Going green by necessity. Sarah and steppes.

A typical farm on a hill. Wander around, peek through a wall break and be rewarded with a Himalayan view.

Nepal Notices

Everyday signs are a great window to a culture, a peek at what's important and how a people express themselves. Here are samples from Nepal.

Do not complain about this water! And Beware of Dog! If only The Home Depot offered such fine illustration. This notice certainly beats the generic orange and black one available back in the US. Nice tongue, we're terrified.

A tailor with a couple of model examples. What part of Open! don't you get?

A bathroom sign. It's nice of them to point the proper way. "Psst, over here." And looking much better than what's to come. A sign easily readable in any language. Jeans, it's what's for wearing.
