Impression of Nepal (4)

This is how many days into the trip. I have to think about it for a while before I can react!

I started to feel some physical discomfort today! At dinner, I didn’t want to eat any food I saw. I was extremely disgusted by a piece of fried potatoes. Everything from vegetables to white rice made me feel nauseous! This was my first local meal in Nepal, and I wasn’t able to experience it as the locals do.

At the entrance of the restaurant, a beautiful woman put red dots on the foreheads of the guests, which meant praying for good luck. I had a bad habit of smelling something. I unconsciously felt that there was something extra on my body, so I wiped it off hastily when I walked out of the restaurant, keeping the customs and people's kindness in my heart.

I stayed at a golf hotel in Kathmandu today. I checked in too late and couldn’t see the surrounding environment, but the room conditions were the best in recent days. Hotel facilities in Nepal are relatively outdated. Even five-star hotels or the best hotels in the region may not have hair dryers or basic facilities. In the two hotels on the mountain, there will be geckos sneaking into the room at any time, wanting to keep us company. Sister Yingzi misses yesterday's Fishtail Hotel, which is located in the middle of Phewa Lake. We lingered in the hotel garden to take pictures of various blooming flowers. You can hear the chirping of various insects and birds at night, very close at hand. So much so that we dare not turn off the lights and sleep until midnight, nervously feeling like something has touched our feet exposed outside the quilt. When I woke up and looked, there was nothing! Even so, we still remember you! When we were boating on Phewa Lake, and when we wanted to take a stroll around the lake in the morning, God gave us another kind of nourishment, and it started raining heavily! I remember sitting in the boat and watching the splash of raindrops on the lake. It was a scene that I had never noticed before. It had the atmosphere and flavor of Children's Day, and it was a childlike moment!

Sometimes mistakes will create another opportunity. In order to pick up the glasses we left at the sunrise store yesterday, we looked at the Fishtail Peak again in the early morning, and it was a little clearer than yesterday. Finally, it corresponds to all the photos of this trip that I have seen before, with different shooting angles and weather conditions. “I’m where you have been” is so romantic, my dears!

After another half-day ride, the driver worked really hard! As for the road conditions, I can say responsibly that passengers have no other choice but to sleep to relieve their tension and discomfort. The dust raised along the way covered the whole body, and the throat and nose were a little confused. Those who don't have rhinitis really have a "strong nose"!

Back in Kathmandu, the tour guide Ajin’s family had a jewelry store. Sister Yingzi talked to him about purchasing agents and crowdfunding. I could feel that this information had no intersection with him at the moment. The indifference was We in the domestic environment cannot compare!

There is only one attraction today, which is the Monkey Temple, a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists. Ajin said that each of us can become a Buddha, so we must practice every day, don’t say things you can’t say, and don’t do things you shouldn’t do. This is practicing Buddhahood! There are 365 stone steps at the main entrance to the Monkey Temple. Nepalese people have to go up this stone step every day when they come to worship the Buddha. After worshiping the Buddha, they return the same way. The 365 stone steps also mean that there are 365 days in a year, every day. Nepalese people all have religious beliefs, with the largest number of people believing in Hinduism and Buddhism. Every day, they get up early to worship in the temple before going about their day's life. Akin is a Buddhist and has a Buddhist hall at home. He said that Nepalese people probably have a Buddhist hall in every home, with a dedicated room for worshiping Buddha. During these days of work, I don’t know how he completed the pilgrimage, but today at the Monkey Temple, I saw his natural piety! When he returned to Kathmandu, he could return to his home, and I could feel his eagerness to return home.

Nepalese don’t eat beef. Every time we share the snacks we bring with Ah Jin, he always asks if there is no beef! Today he told us the reason why we don’t eat beef: Nepalese people believe that when we were young, we drank milk, that is, cows raised us like our mothers, so Nepalese people don’t eat beef. If you kill a cow, the crime is equivalent to murder! Some truths are simple, and rules and taboos are just a thought. The most valuable character of a person is knowing his own boundaries and being self-disciplined.

Tomorrow is the third to last day of the trip.

I wish you, my dear ones, that your childlike innocence will never be lost, you will not worry about trivial matters, and you will live happily and peacefully...
