This morning, I tutored a kid electronic piano online. I really enjoy teaching online, because I can meet people from different areas of the world. I practiced driving on the road this afternoon. It was my first time that I had driven on actual roads. I was excited.
Okay. Continue Nepal Journey. I went to Nepal for its name. I heard that NEPAL is an abbreviation of "Never End Peace and Love". It's so romantic. Two things I really want to do is paragliding and trekking.
Unfortunately, I didn't realize my dream. I'll talk about it later. We stayed at Kathmandu only for one night, then we left for Chitwan. I didn't really enjoy staying in Kathmandu for the dense population, severe air pollution, and traffic congestion. The street is narrow and passers-by, cars, and motorcycles are packed in it. There's a temple near the international airport in Kathmandu where it's for burning dead bodies. People who die in the city will be burned at the riverbank outside the temple. So when it starts burning bodies, the air near the airport will have a strong smell which makes people sick. I could smell a smell of gas as well. It had been very scorching in Kathmandu and you have to wear a mask. It was so hard to breathe. I think Chitwan and Pokhra are much better than the capital city. I took us about five hours to get Chitwan from the early morning at around 6 o'clock to noon. We even had lunch on the way. Then I ate another lunch when we arrived at our hotel in Chitwan. After lunch, we discussed the journey plan with a travel agency manager. Then we went to an ancient village and an elephant breeding center. Elephants are quite cute but they are tied by chains. Poor kiddos. Our guide saw a rhino in the distance so he took us to see it closely. He warned us "if I say run, you have to run very fast because rhinos can run very fast. if I say climb, you have to climb the nearest tree immediately". I was so scared because I didn't know how to climb a tree and I was tired. I didn't think I can run fast. After warning us, the guide brought us to the jungle. I was so frightened that I could even hear my heart beating so fast! And it started to rain with thunderstorms and lightings in the distance. We really saw a rhino eating grass. My friends took a lot of photos. I was out of mood. I was thinking what would happen if the rhino rushed towards us and if the storms became heavier. To be continued...

(you cannot have a sentence with just one word)Okay, continuing with my Nepal Journey. I went to Nepal for its name. I heard that NEPAL is an abbreviation of for "Never Ending Peace and Love". It's so romantic. Two things I really want (or wanted) to do is paragliding and trekking. Unfortunately, I didn't realize my dream. I'll talk about it later.

There's a temple near the international airport in Kathmandu where it's for they conduct the cremation burning of dead bodies. People who die in the city will be burned cremated (not wrong but nicer to use this word for human bodies) at the riverbank outside the temple. So when it starts burning they start cremating the bodies, the air near the airport will have a strong smell which makes people sick. I could smell a get the smell of gas as well. It had been very scorching (scorching is to describe heat, not smell) .The smell is very overpowering/acrid/pungent/unpleasant in Kathmandu and you have to wear a mask as it was so hard to breathe.
I think Chitwan and Pokhra are much better than the capital city. It took us about five hours to get to Chitwan. from the We started early morning at around 6 o'clock to and arrived around noon. We even had lunch on the way. Then I ate another lunch when we arrived at our hotel in Chitwan (...lunch on the way but I decided to have another lunch...).
After lunch, we discussed the journey plan trip itinerary with a travel agency manager. Then we went to an ancient village and an elephant breeding center. Elephants are quite cute but they are tied (bound) by chains. Poor kiddos. Our guide saw a rhino in the distance so he took us to see it closely to get a closer look. He warned us, "if I say run, you have to run very fast because rhinos can run very fast. If I say climb, you have to climb the nearest tree immediately." (period always inside the quote in direct speech) I was so scared because I didn't know how to climb a tree and I was tired. I didn't think I can run fast.
After warning us, the guide brought us to the jungle. I was so frightened that I could even hear my heart beating so fast! And it started to rain with thunderstorms and lightings thunder and lightning in the distance. We really saw a rhino eating grass. My friends took a lot of photos. I was out of in no mood (or I was not in the mood) . I was thinking, what would happen if the rhino rushed towards charged at us (rushed towards is not wrong, but for animals, better to say—The bull/elephant/??? charged at ??? ) and or if the storms became heavier.

You went to Nepal but did not climb Everest ? Just kidding. :) Very interesting read, much of it about Kathmandu I did not know.
