From Durbar to Manamaiju

AT TWENTY-SEVEN DEGREES NORTH LATITUDE, and I still don't know very well how I could end up in a small family hotel for mountaineers, Gurung's Home, north of the city of Kathmandu, in the local neighborhood Nayabazar, attached to the most touristic Thamel, but the thing is that the owner of the apartment I rented in the vicinity of Old Freak Street (recently renamed in the Kathmandu street map) Jhochhen Tole) is still missing at this point, with no signs of life.

From here, when I return from Janakpur next December XNUMXnd (the weddings of the goddess Sita that are celebrated in this city occupy all my attention for now), I go to the Manamaiju neighborhood, where I relocate to a penthouse with a terrace all to myself, and stalls, of course, that I have to share with the community. It was all decided in one night gintonicsI think I remember. The only downside of the site is that the bath relieves the Turkish, perhaps the definitive solution for indomitable constipation.

With twenty to twenty-two degrees Celsius from the spoiler in Kathmandu the last few days, luckily nothing that happens in the hotel catches me inside. Even when a storm falls suddenly, like the one in the photo below, between Sorakhute y Nayabazar, on the way to Manamaiju.

Except at night, where the fateful coincidence that the mountaineers were back from their heroic expedition up the slopes of the Anapurna instead of watching their backpacks on the eve of promising climbs, made it inevitable to listen to prolonged and epics desktops (a story without having conveniently embedded the adjective in question ceases to be rabid and current).

At that time, luckily, my attention span is already very limited, not only in English, especially in English, but I would say even in sign language, because, with hardly any light, it is understandable.

PostscriptThe last mountaineers accommodated will now be properly distributed among their places of residence in Central Europe, praise be to Lord Shiva and all his unique family.
