THIS WAS  A PHOTO FROM THE STREET TOWARD OUR HOTEL IN THAMEL.  IT REMINDS ME OF HOW COLD IT WAS, OF COURSE COMPARED TO BANGLADESH.  ACTUALLY IT WAS ABOUT THE SAME AS COLD RECORDS WERE BEING BROKEN IN BANGLADESH. It’s nice to be back home but I miss it that our AC doesn’t put out heat like the one did in our hotel in Nepal!

Winter is here!

Winter is here!

THIS WAS MY LAST MORNING WALK IN THAMEL, SINCE WE HAD AN AFTERNOON FLIGHT. AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED I AM POSTING TO CATCH UP FOR THE FIRST DAYS OF 2013. I HAVEN’T COME UP WITH A BETTER IDEA THAN TO POST THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE POST PER DAY PER YEAR!

WE SPENT JANUARY 1 IN THAMEL, KATHMANDU, NEPAL! IT WAS A NIPPY 38 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT EARLY IN THE MORNING AND 63 DEGREES BY 4 PM. I ALSO ENJOYED MY DAILY EARLY MORNING CUP OF TEA.

Hot tea for a chilly morning!

THIS WAS A SHOT I COULDN’T RESIST AS WE PASSED PHILIPP’S RICKSHAW.  He should be enjoying Christmas with his family in Switzerland!

Our Friend, Phillip!

Our Friend, Philipp!

BARRELS OF SHORBOT (Sweetened and flavored cold drink) WILL BE CONSUMED BEFORE THE AFTERNOON IS OVER. I drank a glassful and enjoyed it.

A Refreshing Drink!

FLYING THROUGH THE AIR AND NEATLY STACKED!

A colourful procession, plus cultural functions added to the glitzy twist of the University’s celebration.

This bus was included in the colorful procession.

DON’T GET IN HIS WAY!

I think he is carrying aluminum cookware!

I CAN IMAGINE THE CONDITION OF THE LUNGS OF THESE WORKERS.

Worker adding cigarette smoke to make sure his lungs are damaged?!?

WALKING THROUGH OLD DHAKA.

Older Lady not wanting to breathe fumes or dust!

MAKING ROOM FOR BIGGER AND BETTER!
