My first week in Kathmandu
I arrived in Kathmandu on Saturday 24th at 7 am without any delays. Sudeep picked me up at the airport and dropped me off at my flat, in Lazimpat, a residential area well-known for different hotels and embassies.
From the car, I discovered the city, alive and colored. It was barely 8 o'clock in the morning, but the sun already shone and people had already begun their day.
On Sunday, i went to Thamel, the tourist area of Kathmandu. There are a lot of restaurants and shops. I tasted the famous momo, it's a kind of dumpling filled with vegetables or meat and served with tomato and sesame sauce. I chose the beef momo, it was very mito tcta (tasy in Nepali).
On Monday, I started my internship at Royal Mountain Travel. Sudeep introduced me to the staff. Everybody is very friendly and nice. I quickly felt at ease. I am very happy with my first work week.
Saturday is the day off, here in Nepal. I visited the Swayambunath. It is a wonderful Buddhist temple situated on a hill above the Kathmandu Valley. The view is absolutely beautiful. I saw a lot of monkeys as well !
Then, i went to Thamel, i got lost ! It's a busy place with a lot of streets, and people. I really love this place. In the center of this area there was a market of foods and clothes.
At 7 pm, the night was already dark, i decided to go to a bar to enjoy live music by myself. The band was amaizing. They played rock music. In spite of some power cuts, everybody had so much fun and the atmosphere was festive.
On Sunday, i went to katmandou. Durbar Square is one of three Durbar Squares in the Katmandu Valley. Unfortunately, several buildings had collapsed due to the earthquake. But, the damage was less extensive than what I'd thought.
All went pretty well for my first week. Nepali food is very good, you have to try it ! The weather is very warm around 25 degrees. And especially the Nepalese are friendly, welcoming and always ready to share their culture.I am glad to have put down my suitcases in this beautiful country which is Nepal and I look forward to beginning my second week here!
