- Have you eaten your dal bhaat?

...that's the litteral translation of the Nepali meaning : how are you?

Dal bhaat is sort of the national course here in Nepal and consists basically of rice and lentils. Unfortunaly nothing we have tried yet. Here in Kathmandu it's crowded, a lot of peolple, smells and the number of small shops is just owerwhelming. Everywhere you go you'll meet people wanting to talk to you and try to sell "their" stuff. The traffic is another thing: chaotic. But at the same time it's amazing how calm and friendly everyone is despite the chaos.

Today we have just been cruising around and done some final preparations for the mountains. One thing that is for sure is that there will be some more shopping when we get back from the mountains by the end of october\beginning of november.

Tomorrow there will be some sightseeing in Kathmandu and relaxing before we head up to Lukla and the mountain early on the 20th september.

Take care,

Filip
