On Places, People and Cultures

One thing that caught my eye as soon as I crossed the Indian – Nepalese boarder was Converse sneakers and some pretty fasionable denim worn by two blokes operating the mini bus I took to Kathmandu, as well as a number of beer and liquire billbords along the road. It was something I hadn’t seen for a duration of my stay in India. I wasn’t sure what to read from it first, before I went to check out some sights around the capital the day after. Generally speaking, things I witnessed, like a woman behind a wheel of public mini bus or just groups of young people hanging out on of the central squares of the city make that place look much more modern, young and alive. I have to say, combined with preatty stunning architecture and significantly less hustling comparing to India, those things made me really like the place.
