Tourist Bob

Yesterday I visited the heart of Kathmandu at Durba Square where the Kathmandu Temple was made from one Teak tree. The city's name was taken from the name of the temple. Many people visit Durba Square, where the rulers used to live. The temples were built in the 16th and 17th century. Here is an adult fact, the Karma Sudra temple and god's were created because the current ruler (forgot his name) was concerned with all of the Buddhist activity. All the Buddhist activity slowed or almost halted new birthing activity. As my guide so pleasantly put it "the gods were created to give a guide or incentive for those to practice their family development, in fact, it has worked so well there are 3Million people in Kathmandu", now you know.

Today I visited the Monkey Temple on the hill where many of the monks live and practice. I lit some candles and spun some prayer wheels.

This afternoon the rest of the climbers arrive and we might get closer to knowing if we will get our permits, lets still keep those fingers crossed and send that good karma. All the sales people out there could take some lessons from these people, I have learned to take only the money I wish to lose.

Had some good grub up there, 3000 meters, MoMo and Banana Lasse, basically vegetable dumplings and a banana shake.

Thanks for reading, talk to you soon.
