Inadequate Nepal Photos

Inadequate Nepal Photos

I took an early morning stroll around Katmandu, Nepal as I waited for the world to wake. I stood in the street bombarded by many combinations of objects to view. I thought, it is impossible to explain, it must be experienced, the smells, the sights, the many views. I know, and accept that photos of any country and Nepal are inadequate to explain.

This shop with the food, the clutter, the doors to small and the building tilts, I think because of a prior Earthquake.

There is a man, intent, preoccupied, he is shucking corn.

Behind the small opening is a lady a girl, sitting moving, and pops her head up and catches me taking a photo.

270 Rupees per month to join this gym, I can work out starting at 6:00 am in the morning. It smells like a gym. Two boys said they was trying to join the English military, it is possible they can become British citizens if they are in the service. 270 Rupees is about 4 U.S. Dollars.

Black man and black oil, there is a caste system in Nepal and in India, however more in India. This man is black; however, he may also be very grimy with black tar oil also. He has an early start on the grime; it is only about 7:00 in the morning.

He fills up is container with old from a 55-gallon barrel, then sprinkles it on the road mixing with the gravel. A larger compacter is coming to pack the gravel and make a tarvy type road. This is one of the main roads of Thamel.

The super sharp barbwire sitting ready to go near one of the Kathandu, Nepal police stations. In many countries like Nepal, Bolivia etc, there are these barbwire barriers ready to go for the next time.

I see pictures of Nepal, and it feels almost like home now. huh.When Britain was making her empire large, the army moved into Nepal after India. The word is, the Army were so impressed by the skills and courage of the Nepali Gorkha Army, that they stopped trying to conquer them, and invited them to join the British Army instead. Since then, the British Army has several permanent Brigades of Gorkhas. The Nepali government likes this, as when these men return they are rich and boost the economy. The Nepali men like this, because they get rich and become UK citizens if they want to. The British Army also does favours for local people... when trekking, many of the bridges we crossed had plaques saying they were donated to the village by the Army because of a Gorkha Soldier who lived there or something.I miss Nepal now I am in the UK. I know I will not go back for many years. Too many places to see.
