This place is unbelievable. Seeing it in the day is so much different. There are people everywhere and the whole place smells like incense. Not so much hassling, but we definitely stand out, even in our special gear! The place we stayed last night was called Kathmandu Guest House, and its right in the heart of Thamel. it is wild!! the streets are about 10 feet wide and with all the stores open in the day and people everywhere (lots of tourists too), and cars and mopeds driving all over the place, the streets are pretty crammed. So many little clothing stores and supermarkets. We are going to be going to our volunteer house probably this afternoon. They are probably a bit confused by us because we did not end up there last night after the airport caffufle. Pretty sweaty here, hard to wear slacks and tshirts in 30 degree humid weather. Im probably going to buy some of the handmade skirts (may as well become a hippy) that are really colourful. They are like 10$ (canadian).
the airport was quite the joke too haha, security may as well not exist, and the visa application process was just all over the map. Im pretty sure people here do not pay attention to time either. Just go with the flow. anyways, off to explore!
