No.142 - JOURNEY of DREAMS - The Streets of Katmandu, Nepal.

The streets of Katmandu are filled with heavy potholes and were clogged with cars, bikes, people and animals. The cars blares their horns constantly. Cows cross the streets, and children squatted to relieve themselves. There are many small shops selling hot drinks and food. Huge piles of rubbish lie here and there and it seems nobody cares. The weather was cold with -10 deg C. on February, 2011. It seems the snow at the Himalayas has not yet melt. The rivers are dry. Everywhere, there is cutting down on electricity by the Nepal Government. Without water, the national electricity board cannot generate electricity. Bigs hotels can afford electrical generators, small hotels have to use candles.

Electrical wires are haphazardly placed.
Noting is too big for her.
