Cambodia - Koh Kong and the White Elephant Orphanage



Tuesday, February 2, 2010, departing for Cambodia, I left Ko Chang, the Thai island paradise for lovers of fiestas and lazy sunny. I slept 4 hours, evening departure from Ko Chang obliges, and the road will be long.
It's good to be lulled by the hum of the ferry, I fall asleep already. The taxi driver baratine me that my ticket does not go to the border, but he stopped quickly, seeing that I am in no mood to negotiate a joke or this morning. I fall asleep on the road to the border after chatting with my neighbor's mini-bus, Haiden, a Turk who arrives in India for 2 years and go on southern Cambodia, the same sauce as Ko Chang, sun and relaxation: - /

on the Cambodian border, customs officers ask me 1200 Baht, or $ 36 while the normal price of the visa is $ 20, I was accused. Even the Lonely Planet guide warns that it is impossible to pay less, but the association that I joined me a little rundown of arrival, stress and try to pay $ 20 only difficult but possible. I grumble with customs and starts to get tired of these greedy, and even officials. I'm exhausted, my 4 hours of sleep and a few beers the night before should give me an unpleasant mouth sacrament. A customs asks me to put a time on the sidelines, and I see they want to pay 1200 baht and be done with all the other tourists who line up before starting to negotiate with me. After 1 / 2 hour after they scam the tourists present, they make me finally VISA, I did not loose the piece, the 16 dollars more is almost a week of hotel here, and for the meager pay of customs officers is a very good pension.

The tuk-tuk to Koh Kong is not evil abyss, AC is in the mood Cambodia. This short journey from the border to the city is full of emotions, not only that reminds me enormously Guyana, with its warmth, simplicity, the system of local ambience, mentality, it's more that this direction I wanted take the lease from a coronation. Not specially Koh Kong and Cambodia, but to continue my trip to the dotting of the raids or I can.



I arrived in Koh Kong, a tiny town, we take a small dirt road and arrived at an orphanage. A 20aine of kids are playing outside. They stop me doing big hello, clasping hands (chomisoa) with a huge smile! How welcome, then they do not even waiting for me and do not know me! Immediately, barely down from the tuk-tuk, three children come to the gate to take my hand to get me. They are accustomed to what the volunteers come to spend time with them one day, one month, and they need it.



I would spend the afternoon with them and after Sandrine, the volunteer facilitator for 1 month. Lots of times I smile, it takes my hand, you want a hug, it's really troubling, children who have no parents, or so I'm not accustomed to children, simply ^ ^. I rent a bike
was leaving the association and ask me in a cheap guest house has 3 dollars a night at the Neptune Guesthouse (Thomas 011 984 512 for the pub). And a few in a small cyber internet, or I'm working on the blog from Bangkok and there's a job.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010, cafe snack too much sugar in one of the simplest is a small countertop edge street and behind a house on Pilotti, crowded below, a family. I leave my torn shorts and no button for the tailor who wonder only 30 Baht, so little! 1 lap to search for bananas for children at the orphanage in the covered market, you fit a new strap on my watch Taiwanese bought in Suriname. I love lost between the different parts of the market, meat, shoes, bazard, fish, jewelry, fruits and vegetables so close, it's dense.



Internet to finish the blog from Bangkok, a very spicy sandwich by mistake was wanting to test a chilli sauce but this one is super strong, the sandwich is almost like a bread in France, with meat, vegetables and a little jam in the bottom .. not bad, all accompanied by the traditional green papaya salad, which I love!
Little nap after eating, it's good to find patterns of Guyana in the heat, then towards the orphanage. Even a home full of smiles, a few games with the children. Some kids test me a little, normal, but it is mostly a lot of love in these exchange smiles. The evening dinner chicken noodles on the street, I was a kid offers a beggar sharing with 2 others, too bad they can not be all supported by a generous area in an association.

Thursday, February 4, 2010, bike ride, snack street or I find a faux bread with jam not bad buying a bus ticket to Phnom Penh that I manage to negotiate the $ 5 regular price, then pay the equivalent of $ 6 because I pay in Riels. Here we pay in dollars, Thai baht or Cambodian riel, by having it on almost all exchange rates not rounded as possible. I spin a few gold coins to an American of Cambodian origin who says he made me steal his bag of money and need to sleep in Phnom Penh and then go to the embassy the next day, I never or rarely queues of money on pitches like that, I hesitate and then choose to believe. Not easy after all panky I've heard since the beginning of the journey. Myself but my bag was stolen in Brazil and have had some good shots of hands and to be on the momentum generated with the changeover to the orphanage, it makes me look like something that should have a big heart or a beautiful naivete

:-) I buy a bottle of coca 10aine for celebration and games starting Sandrine who leaves the orphanage tomorrow. The french couple who took over from the animation for one month comes at the same time as the games begin, it has as much fun as the kids.





White Elephant The association takes care of the orphanage and 25 children, from the smallest to the largest 2 years who was 18 if I'm not mistaken and it is really great to create more joy and good projects for the lads. Tari, a Cambodian converted dietician, child care and meals, she lives on site and there are one or more volunteers who lead and care for children when not at school.
the evening, dinner excellent, Tari is a blue ribbon and curry is delicious. The children dance and sing on the TV tubes on DVD. I tell them goodbye, I do not see them again probably.
I sentence myself to leave, a small town like Koh Kong, quiet and with this association is a good place to ask, but I want to move (as usual) and Phnom Penh will be full of surprises, I already know. So

direction Phnom Penh tomorrow, the capital Cambodian.

Ko Chang, an island paradise?

Departure from Bangkok towards the Cambodian border.
bus with air conditioning, clean, TV and DVD player, a donut and coke served ^ ^, WC, luxury for 250 Baht (5 euro) for 5 hours away. What a difference after the Nepali bus or we should pray for not crash to the ground in a ravine and the driver falls asleep too quickly. The road is somewhat reminiscent of Ceara in Brazil, it's flat, sunny, nothing really interresting to see from this astonishing cleanliness, the organization, everything is as nikel!


View Asia in a larger map

Arrived in Trat, I hesitate because one island is just opposite, Thailand still has a few Baht and 1 hour boat. It would be a shame not to taste the same if it smells 100% tourism and AC may disappoint me after spending 2 weeks Tobago ^ ^. A taxi takes me to 3 banks before finally finding a place to change dollars, as in Cambodia, the dollar is the 2nd monaie after the Riels served in all distributors.



So towards the coast, ferry puis1 after having reserved a bungalow for 200 baht. Arrive in Ko Chang, the share-taxis charge all the other tourists, who go Flights and hotels nearby and do not want to take me to the other end of the island, add a few notes.



My hotel, or rather the bungalow is on the other side of the island, although after the corner of expensive hotels and hoopoe. Tourists with whom I end up making the trip finally stop in one of these hotels in 1300 Baht night against the 200 of my wooden hut, but it far from me dream ^ ^. I go to restaurants, clothes shops, beach bars, bars and prostitutes has lady-boys (who these girls), I already feel a surge of allergy to this corner and ca recall that I am in Thailand. The cottage is 100m from the beach, surrounded by other small bungalows made of scraps of boards in every sense that clog the holes and as far as wood is rotten and the humidity. 1 fan and a mosquito net above the bed that takes up the whole cabin, all this surrounded by palm trees, gas! The sun sets in the moonlight, excellent! I go to swim direct, hot water and transparent, LA, CA and Tobago reminds me tomorrow I would wander around the rocks, under water!



a beer on the beach, while in a bar terrace on the beach as all the bars here, a DJ will prepare and mount the lights and speakers for the night. I'm off to the shower, too pleasant, 4 walls and no sheet metal on top, just lighted by the almost full moon and palm trees around like ceiling. The opportunity also to get a free laundry too bitch for once. I return to the streets to eat less, it is a corner of backpackers (travelers backpack), + young - much as the beginning of the island. 5 or 6 bars "hot" style full body massage, 5 or 6 restaurants, 2 stands diving, clothes, beach easily I choose the restaurant good and cheap, there are tons of local Thai who eat there.



Saturday, January 30, 2010, beach and swimming. After noon snorkling along the coast in the rocks but I do not see anything. Siesta fiesta then. I am also remains tonight as a huge full moon party is on another south island, Thailand, and I wish her good taste in this evening, but I have not had the courage to bear the bank of the American tourists. Arriving on Ko Chang I saw posters for a small fullmoon party tonight, the opportunity to enjoy here. Choke with a "Samsong" mix whiskey + coke + red bull served in a small seal full of straw, he begins to float in torrents and the evening will go under water with a good DJ.


The sign says it all ;-)

Sunday, January 31, 2010, woke up to 15h and it's early for me (no comments please). Beach and relax, I meet a guy who Bourlingue for 5 weeks in Thailand Cambodia, all this wheelchair! It has a concrete moral, always smile, and too jovial, a sacred lesson of life itself!


Did you know that AC can penetrate much rust as a foot crossing tong here?

Monday 1st February 2010, the last day, I turn around and diving here is not interresting, I'm off tomorrow. 3 days of sauce tourist beach, sun, beers, relaxing, fiestas in bars at night, I saturate faster than I thought.



Directorate Cambodia tomorrow, Koh Kong, a small town, there is an orphanage built a new kitchen and I should get electricity for the part.

When Do You Need Ear Plugs

Bangkok, Thailand, a station wagon full of surprises



Departure for Bangkok, Kathmandu, woke up at 5am, I have a cold, probably from the fever. Waiting for 2 ha airport, but fly to Delhi 2h late (as usual it seems) from Bangkok to blow my correspondence is impossible.
Waiting 8 am and it gives me a place in a direct flight to Bangkok. The Efferalgan codeine has had to help me take I think ^ ^.



The flight to Bangkok, with a view of the Himalayas, has the same height as the clouds, a beautiful way to leave Nepal! The

Photo theft

arrival in Thailand, the airport is the 3rd largest in the world, hard to describe this great ... building? It would still have 1 / 2 hour on the treadmill to get out and get a taxi. The Kathmandu
contrast is striking, but I am sick and tired already taken this morning, my Creve did not loose, the air is hot here, it reminds me the temperature of the Guiana ... I agree Bankok center, the road is a highway 2x5 channels with commercials than 100m wide along the route.
Thewet I arrive, a district deemed quiet and cheap compared to other chaotic as + chinatown with which I hesitated, Kao San road or an area 100% tourists no question Thewet be perfect to rest. I have a room at 250 Bat, 5 euros is not cheap and AC looks like the price was mini here.

Wednesday, January 20, 2010, woke up at 7 am because of my belly bulk, as usual for two weeks, I ask how to see a doctor and the only solution is the hospital.



first tuk-tuk ride for 60 Bat, these devices that resemble rikshaw Indian engine but more nervous, probably more lightweight, in any case wider (like roads), but less comfortable. I'm waiting for my turn to the doctor, was asleep, too feeble even though I do not have a fever after the nurse. The doctor found an infection seen in my stomach pain by touching it. Not surprisingly after all these corners so rich in good food cheap and good microbes burbot in Nepal. But the doctor wants to see me coughing and also test my blood because there is a risk of contamination by a so-called "influenza", a microbe I did not know where they speak English as badly as me so we do not include masses. Analysis in all genres, and I await the result being still a little anxious because the doctor asked me to stay in the hosto if my blood contains this bug!

(1 mocking, I coughed in his next post!)

The result is OK, and someone finally explained to me that the analysis they did was to find out if I had the H1N1 wicked, I finally understand what they were testing time I bring this bacterium or from I do not know. I can now remove the mask that protects my circle of my hypothetical monstrous germs
^ ^ I am leaving with a big dose of antibiosis combines big for my throat infection gastrointestinal well bodied.

I take a scooter-taxi (+ Fast and the - expensive) if I have an accident, the most dangerous in the present case will probably be too thin plastic helmet that door. Chinatown Branch, a name that is dreaming. The traffic is very fluid, the streets are wide, one-way, 2 or 3 channels, clean and clear. What a contrast after Kathmandu!



Chinatown is full of narrow streets full of stalls selling everything! I even had trouble finding pumps, here is instead of wholesalers, the first would not sell me less than 6! Back
by express boat on the river Mae Nam, and the river is also a sacred axis navigation, small boat in the shape of this canoe with big engine in the rear that the boatman may raise risk if the propeller to move on a floating object too big, to gravel barges that feeds the yards in town.


Arrive Thewet, people just give bread to a school of fish used to come and gorge themselves at home is rather Some pigeons are fat.
Internet in a cyber chair semi-extension, 21-inch 16:9 screen, computer overboosted RAM and processor, an impressive amount of games PRELOADED, full of kids CONNECTED parts online gaming, large flow of internet connection, another coronation contrast Kathmandu. It is indeed a city full of hi-tech.



Dinner in a snack bar near the hotel, excellent, a simple dish of noodles, sticky, soaking in a soup, 40 Baht, 80 c euro.

Thursday, January 21, 2010, the district executive or everything was cheap.



Stands sidewalks on each side and behind the shops, halls, towers, themselves barred with shops and stalls. Prices sometimes as metropolis and other times really very interresting. Every time I negotiated too, the seller makes a kind of plaintive wail. A mall gives me a new SD card brand and a battery charger, a wealth of technology, my brother will enjoy here!



I finished last with a 7-storey shopping center, close to 400m long and wide enough for 4 alleys, incredible! A palace of consumption.
Back exhausts with a tuk-tuk. I stopped before finishing the guesthouse was thinking but I mixed up my bearings, I 'm still far away and I get lost somewhere between the narrow streets until you see a bridge that I recognize to be happening underneath boat yesterday. I spin but falls into a cul de sac. Standing out in a pack of dogs barking behind me and I do not take care. They are already on me and one of them bites me till the blood before I do the hunting. A beautiful sanguinolent wound. I returned to my room disinfect but the boss of the hotel told me that if I want to be a werewolf tomorrow I'd better go in the hospital, you never know what crap or what I could surprise chopper j 'would have to wake up tomorrow ...
Branch hospital, I know, I even have the card yet barcode with my info, I'm in luck! Hosto a 23h, after a small dish of noodles sticky peanut sauce all the same (hmmm this Thai food, I imagined not so good). After the dressing, it injects the first dose of vaccine against rabies. I would have to do another 4 stalls for 1 month and a half. So I right that this vaccine before leaving I felt useless, so I thought I'd watch out for the wild dogs in the Nepalese countryside, you're talking! I'm good to go 4 times has hosto find a dose of magic potion, next Sunday here in Bangkok, but the next may be in a hosto in the north, and the following ... Laos? Vietnam? Inshallah!
Back at the hotel, I make a chocolate milk from the grocery store open 24 / 7, makes me sleep well and the chocolate is good when we stopped the fags. Only I did not see that chocolate is loaded with vitamins special breakfast, it boosts me like a Red Bull, it's 1.30am, I have no desire to pioncer ... Reminds me of my last inspection job or take a day I think INFU Granny to sleep when I stopped the fags, but it was an Energy Tea, no sleep either! After reading, writing, and finally made a walk on the jetty going to drink a beer myself, I return my kip, it is 4am.

Friday, January 22, 2010, woke up at 6am, 2 hours after sunset, feeling sick. I'm trying to force me, nothing comes out, I am back kip until 9am. I did not remember at 4am with the cachetons I take, the nurse told me well not to drink alcohol. Day
bulk head. I visit MBK Center, another shopping center or should I find cheap pumps. This Mall is full of tourists, I see a camera Lumix ZS3 to 200 euros instead of 280 euros TZ7 the same I just look on a french site VPC, it's been like compared to my Sanyo bought the most basic in Brazil after the theft of my bag. Still a lot of stalls, stands, business! Evening ended soon after dinner due to lack of sleep :-)

Saturday, January 23, 2010, I send my warm clothes in metropolitan France, the parcels are less Kathmandu's expensive and I have a feeling they are more likely to reach its destination.



I still walk the walk until the Royal Palace, the huge gilded Buddhist monuments, statues of dragons, a palace with a thousand details, impressive, but I'm still too tired and I troll radar .



I continue by boat to Chinatown, photos, purchase dates and dried apricots, I love those stairs made of alleyways too narrow for two people meet and are filled with stalls as food, textiles, plastic gadgets sold the 12aine ....



Sunday, January 24, 2010, rising again to radar because of the stamps. Between those who hunt my Creve angina, those who care my intestines, those who make sure that I not contract rabies and that means that I need to blow my nose every 2 minutes, I'm really ... Gave. Direction the hospital for a 2nd anti-rabies injection, this hosto Bangkok is routine now. Then walk in a walk this weekend. It looks like a huge shopping area with lots of shops rather well prepared for a march this weekend, but still everything is not given.



I finished my day a 2 a time by going to the tourist street in Bangkok, Kao San Road a neighborhood or there are only tourists, expensive prices, and a tourist scams of all kinds. I find a Lonely Planet guide which includes full details about the countries of Southeast Asia, a good mix for not having to buy one of each country. And in this paradise of the copy, the first guide that I found and it was eventually purchased a copy. Very well done, just pictures on paper and less ice, the latest edition as nine to half price in my bag.
I ordered a fried fish restaurant next to the guest house, a treat. A guy eats on the table next to a tourist like me it makes gringue has 2 girls. A beggar comes and sits next to my desk, I will file 10 baht come yesterday, he demands nothing is not embarrassing, just sitting there. After 5 minutes, the tourist from the table beside the saw and decided to make its territory to hunt, as hunting dogs, starting to bawl, up his sleeves. The beggar does not go away and sit on the floor next to me, the guy pretends to get excited, and I do not flinch as he does not touch him. I do not leave the eye and he finally realized he should stop his film and he calms down, keeping his air irritates. AC rather disgusted at seeing a rich hunting dog like a beggar. He just has him spinning 10 Baht, he will leave himself, otherwise he agrees to eat a meal in this restaurant before a dear guy who is hungry and has no money to pay a eat, we are in Thailand, and it is not wealth that runs the streets, even if it's very clean and tidy as Westerners love. I do my preachy but this con really disappointed me, although I probably make the worst of a bunch of times!

Monday, January 25, 2010, up late, feeling better but still ca. I look at the Assos and humanitarian contacts in Cambodia an association of time I can lend a hand in passing, maybe for the electricity of the new kitchen for an orphanage being built, or to change Phnon Penh neons. ..



Ballade in Chinatown to spend the day, boat, I get lost in the lanes and passes through a neighborhood to sell phones. Here the shops that sell the same products all in one place. I hesitate one second to buy a copy of I-phone with terrestrial TV option for 58 euros, the I-phone is worth 400 euros in France it seems ^ ^

Tuesday, January 26, 2010, a tower Sky train, Skytrain, even magical, as in the manga.



I returned to scootertaxi. The scooter makes little strange and I guess shortcuts to avoid traffic as they do sometimes, but it stops in a small street next to 2 guys that I translate it now wants to bring me back 300 baht was under Thewet because there is too much traffic. Another scam, I feigned hurt the guy ennerve (because I do am not too jaded after the scam in India and Nepal, I'm blind) and I plan to leave the yelling, but in my opinion it does not subside. I later regret not having given him a lesson, say yes for 300 beats and spinning him that the sum provided by 80 beats on arrival, to steal a thief ... This will be the next addition to these scammers are all too kind and zen in this country and grandpa who led very cautiously had good will.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010, departing for Cambodia. Reveille was 6:30 by the owner of the guesthouse, I speed till the bus station towards the Cambodian border. I grab a city bus, long drive up to one end of town (there is one in Bangkok reassures AC) a ticket for the bus leaving in just one minute and away! And what a bus! pink curtains prepress Fasteners, comfortable seats as in metropolis, air conditioning, TV, toilet, I must take a picture because after the bus and especially Indian Nepali, the luxury! And
nasty surprise, the screen of my camera died.
Fortunately we are not yet out of the city, and I quit my departure, this would be a shame to travel without taking pictures! And Bangkok is the best place to buy a new camera, and I even know where to go ^ ^ Back
my guesthouse scooter taxi with a driver or the street racing I regale the bag over 10kg back. The very friendly owner, Som, who má already well help to go to the hosto, tell me to go in front if I can not do repairs and change the screen in the neighborhood Thewet. Unfortunately, I can not find a repair of electronics in this neighborhood. Branch MBK Center, a huge shopping mall of 7 floors (with a Pizza Hut in the 7th yes yes ^ ^). Here to repair screen it takes 3 weeks, damage. I could see the quality of the apparatus of friends with whom I toured the Annapurna, a Lumix, Leica lens, and I find the latest model for 2 / 3 of the price sold in France. A nice Christmas present!

Thursday, January 28, 2010, I start with a meeting to hosto, I am still today For this reason, I have an anti-rabies injection has done today. I also want to see a doctor, my left ear is blocked for 5 days and it does not stop as I thought. Matches, middle ear infection, I am not surprised at my medical in Bangkok! Another treatment is to take as I just finished those I had been leading last week!
then I'm going to lose my foot in the streets as jadore do to really discover the cities, and I find that I am a channel, there are several Bangkok, driven by "water buses" is quiet, and it makes me want to settle down, why not build a guest house in one of those tranquil spots filled green, while I am in the heart of Bangkok!



I visit a temple built on a hill



then another temple below, or I am invited for a meal is a celebration of induction of a monk in the temple. I visited Wat Pho finally visits the monuments of Bangkok, a huge temple where I see a statue of Buddha lying on his side, statue of 46m long and 15 tall, impressive, as all temples and stupas around equally beautiful.



Friday, January 29, 2010, I go towards the Cambodian border.
Scooter with an old Raleur until the bus station, apparently there are many such old Raleur after the scammer in scooter last time. He asked me more than expected on arrival, as nearly normal demand, so much fun I'm jaded. Depart by bus, and this time I left, my camera is not stranded.

I hope to come back to Bangkok, I loved the 10 days spent here, even though many times they were tired, it's a place full of rich sensations and really nice even for a great city!

And what is the journey, I will perhaps not happen in Cambodia ...

Can A Felon Hunt With A Bow

Tansem, Lumbini and Kathmandu



Monday, January 11, 2010, departing from Pokhara to Tansen Palpa, a pretty little town halfway Lumbini.
Tonsen is famous for its rating "Old Town" with its narrow streets too narrow for cars. I grab a bus in the street, just raise your hand so that the bus stops that fills throughout the trip. 6 hours of travel, the landscape is similar in Sikkim, steep roads and beautiful views over the narrow valley with a few rice fields and sometimes the tops of the Himalayas glimpses ente 2 hills.



Arrive Tansem, no room is less than 300 PID (3 euros) and no hot water here. Visit the temple Amar Narayan Mandir (Mandir = Temple in Nepal). 3 bunk roofs, the beautiful and small scultpure erotic scenes at the base of the wooden beams.


(yes look better bottom)

I guzzler in a pizza restaurant Nanglo West "at night, the best pizza I've eaten since the beginning of the journey with this little sauce for mushrooms reminiscent of the rabbit kitchen by my parents! My appetite for pizzas will calm down there one day?
Sunset ... with the noise from neighbors, a group of Indian tourists, who make much noise until late at night and will stand up to the first with much noise, no need to wake up! :-)



Tuesday, 12 January, 2010 Wake up at 5am
by the group of Indian tourists as promised. A last round in the center, go see these big bat that I was talking about,



another on the heights or I take a picture of one of these sites from home or is made with bamboo, as in India. Bamboo holding a sheet metal (or boards here) to cast the slab, you assemble the 3 frames that were outstanding at the end of the pillars that exceeded the roof for a few years when you had done the previous stage, and t You got a new floor to your house!



Tansem remain a corner that satisfies me brand and really liked it too difficult to tell sometimes and that explains so little



Arrive Bhairahawa, Lumbini before the stage, I am a small local bus to Lumbini, drain, remains standing, backpack on the roof of the bus in the species found on arrival, and with friendly neighbors papottage bus.

Arrive Lumbini, Buddha's birth village, it is cool and gray, then has Tonsen, warm and beautiful. I found a hotel to put my bag a first night, rent a bike and go see the temples for me guesthouses has cheaper housing. Some temples are empty and farms, others still under construction and most are big and beautiful. I would go may be tomorrow Korean Monastery, 250 NA 3 meals and a bed.



I need internet to upload my newspaper and laundry facilities to try to recover the rags of clothes that I used to take a shower to get them back then ...
The shower is cold, but too much after 3 days, and there is no laundry, so hand washing is toujous be better than nothing with this little soap smell in my clothes. I think
reach Kathmandu in two days and fly to Bangkok on January 19, the end of my Nepali visa is tomorrow, a month already happening in Nepal, it goes so fast when it's good!
the evening, I booked a ticket for Bangkok on January 19 while the electricity group of cyber electrogene deconnne and cut every 10 minutes, not easy to buy online card bancaise. I finished at 8am PM, there is no corner or eat at that hour, everything is closed at this hour, except a grocery store where I found a packet of crisps.


Wednesday, January 13, 2010 Depart for Maya Devi Temple, the place where Buddha was born 2,500 years ago. Some tourists stalls full of statues and necklaces in the path that leads. The entrance is 120 nrp camera, disappointed that this place is paying. THE birthplace is a place that was protected by various temples over time, has the support ruins, all now not protect a structure metal mass.



I agree with some monks under a huge fig tree to practice Chenrezig, I am greeted Mahaya tradition between a monk and other Theravada monks. Renting a bike after the morning and visit all the temples. Many still under construction, some magnificent Chinese temple



(despite the big smiling Buddha at the entrance that gives me the impresion that I enter the park asterix)



the Thai monastery, the great stupa Drigung Kagyud Lotus, or the World Peace Pagoda huge, lost in the fields. I return the bicycle, I goiffre a "samosa curry, samosa 2 mixture has a sauce with chick peas and other vegetables pepper all well as usual. Then back to the tree where I practiced in the morning and I find the same or monks. This time we monkeys make it a real show, has reversed the trash, to scare tourists, or a muddy 1m us from a branch of the tree above us! The night I learned that a strike is announced by the Nepalese Maoist movement, not having a bus tomorrow night.

Thursday, January 14, 2010
Breakfast spiced chai and sugar for 27 + PID, I still love this! I go to the Maya Devi Temple. A "monk" comes to greet me, Is this a monk? "He wears a orange fabric as Theravada monks wear it, He tells me he is not here, not in a temple, but would buy land to build one. In my opinion, it benefits from donations from tourists let that go around the tree leaving a few pieces next to each monk (and those who resemble them). During my meditation, the squirrels are eating rice grains under my knees, not the cowards morfales!



I am then a short nap on the roof of the hotel, soaking up the sun dry my clothes waiting for the bus that would still happen despite the strike. The bus is late but it finally arrived and it left for 15 hours of travel on small, steep road.

I finally begins to sleep around midnight, and suddenly the big jolts that make me feel the bus off the road!
I remember on that part of this road is a cliff, and I expect to leave the mainland for a flight ... bus! In the next second it is still, and the bus is stopped. The driver starts to fall asleep, it's been close to 25 hours it runs, all with very few breaks because his boss asked him to make overtime.



The bus was driven into a large pit on the small village square, we're lucky! And by luck, others are on the up and s'apprettent to take us to Kathmandu, it is again! Everyone finally arrived at 9am in Kathmandu, sacred sleepless night, safe and sound!

Saturday, January 16, 2010
I'm going on a visit Patan, as the old city of Kathmandu is wonderful.



A small snack at night because I do not want to disburse all my money in overpriced restaurants of Thamel district, a few fries (that's a lease!) With a pleasant sauce mayonaise below / and a layer peanut paste on top, a test!

last 2 days in Nepal in Kathmandu, a final reminder of scams Thamel with a server that tries m'arnaquer about money, or to the shop reminds me that she has succeeded in the morning monaie on a Lonely Planet guide, on this side, no regrets at Thamel, and no gifts either ^ ^



final preparations and ballads in Kathmandu, really magical, it's going to miss this instantanneite perpetual, everything is possible here also, Nepal, like its inhabitants, is really beautiful, authentic, full, intense, brutal sometimes, especially as I like free.
I've been away for only a week and I miss it already!.

Tomorrow Tuesday departure for Bangkok.
