Exploring my local neighbourhood

I've spent the last few days working.

Today, after a productive morning's work, I headed out for lunch. I went to Kumari's Restaurant, which was recommended in Lonely Planet, particularly for its buff (buffalo) chow mein. It's a real 'spit and sawdust' restaurant that looks nothing from the outside. It was busy, though, with locals (all men!), so I went in and ordered the famous dish, along with a lassi. I have to say, it was delicious. I got a large plateful, and my bill was only 350 Nepali Rupees (about £1.75).

After eating, I went for a walk around the neighbourhood. Even though I've been here for almost a month, I'm still finding streets I haven't walked down before - and so close to my accommodation, too. I don't think you could ever get bored of a city like this. I took lots more photos of colourful and interesting shops.Read more
