We visited Kathmandu's Durbar Square where the city's kings were once crowned and legitimised, and from where they ruled (durbar means ‘palace'). Here I saw cows treated like gods, pigeons fed to make holy wind with their wings and a 3 year old goddess child with makeup and painted nails quickly making her apearance from a balcony inside a temple. No photos allowed. Then we went up to a hilltop to the monkey temple overlooking the valley with prayer flags everwhere and tibetian meditation music playing, this was a very peacefull place indeed! After seeing more intresting backstreets where dogs pop out their heads from the second floor and bark to say hello we went to where they cremate all people in Kathmandu in a river. I am not kidding! You see the fire stacks next to the river, then they burn people and throw the remains in the river, this was very siff! There were moneys jumping and swimming inbetween them! We are at 1300m here and very close to everest 8800m, tomorrow we fly over the hemalyas past everest to Lhasa Tibet's capital.
