Today has also been overwhelming with new, great impressions. I had a fun day with professor Thapa’s niece. Kathmandu is mainly divided into three main areas, and Patan is one of them. She showed me houses from 1700th century. Beautiful buildings that are preserved.

These pictures are seize-the-day moments. These girls started to wave at us, and we joined them for a little while. Aparna is taking the photo.

Aparna showed me the museum in Patan. She liked having photos and she told me that when people wanted to hide they closed the window from the courtyard. You can watch the street from the house, but people on the street cannot see you.


We went for a long walk and had lunch on a restaurant rooftop. It was lovely to sit for a while and enjoy the atmosphere. I told Aparna that I find this all very exotic—the old buildings, the bustling traffic with all the scooters, the beautiful colors and plants, and so on.
