What is fun in Kathmandu? Where is Kathmandu?

Perhaps everyone has his own holy land in his heart. It is a journey of his own. The holy land I go to alone is the utopia in my heart. That place is Nepal. Ten years later, when the dream shines When I entered reality, I decided to go to the place I had always longed for, take my family with me, and see what kind of country it was.

Close contact with monkeys in the Monkey Temple

This place once experienced a major earthquake, which destroyed many landmark buildings. It is of little significance to rebuild them. Therefore, the The tourism industry has plummeted, but even so, it still cannot reduce my yearning for this place. After seeing the earthquake here before, I was very worried, but my idea never changed. At that time, I thought, even if many of the exquisite things are no longer there , but it’s good to go there to bask in the sun and breathe the fresh air. There are relatively few tourists passing by on the way here. You can see various shrines everywhere, colorful saris, wires intertwined in the air, and on the ground. Dogs basking in the sun and children playing everywhere as a playground are the hallmarks of Kathmandu.

Curious baby experiences local culture

Every day, I feel like walking in a museum with carved beams and painted buildings? The bumpy road and flying dust have brought many local residents and foreign tourists to Various masks. Because it is the rainy season, storms always come unexpectedly, but you can still see that many local people don't mind it and can walk on the rainy road calmly without rain gear. Yes, what are you afraid of? I could never imagine the kind of person who would wash the dirt off his feet in the puddles on the roadside after the rain, who would wake up every morning to say hello to the God in his heart, who would sit on a brick-covered street It can be seen from everything in the rubble square all day long that this is a group of people who are peaceful and rich in their hearts.

It is said that medical conditions in Nepal are poor and medical treatment is expensive. I am very curious about how they will deal with it once they get sick. After all, most people have no money. The enthusiastic taxi driver said that they will pray to God and ask God to come. As a medical student, I was really shocked by this method to reduce pain. Similarly, they will not cry when a family member dies, because it is only a body that dies. God will bless their souls to go to the Pure Land of Paradise, while the body will be returned to nature. Perhaps we need to learn from others when it comes to treating death and nature.

The little girl feeding the pigeons

When I first arrived in Kathmandu, the children not only needed to adapt to the jet lag but also to a strange environment. At night, the children were so excited that they didn’t want to sleep, so I turned on the TV to find out. I watched some programs suitable for children, but I was surprised to find that there were 5 different channels promoting religious beliefs. No wonder they have been able to calmly guard the dilapidated buildings and rubble after the earthquake for two years. People can be content with their current lives. .

Children on the construction site

Ever since I became a mother, I have developed a habit of paying attention to children when I walk on the road. In economically backward countries, children are much more innocent and energetic than in cities. They will timidly ask if the half-bottle of Coke in your hand can be given to them, chase you barefoot on the roadside, and even hold your hand and tell you where you can draw mehndi. They were born without a life of luxury, no imported milk powder, no early childhood education classes, no playground, no Lego bricks, or even a home with four walls, but just when you are about to shed tears for these children, Nepal will tell you silently, don't cry, you see Lord Mahakala defeated the devil. The power of God is so immeasurable, and He understands everything right there. Because there is God, there is no utilitarian education, there are no anxious parents, and there will be no confused children in the future; because there is God, there is no cruelty to animals, there is no robbery, and there are no all kinds of shocking incidents

God Mahakala and worshipers

The story of God has been passed down in this country for generations. Although there are thousands of incarnations of God, in fact, it has already lived in people's hearts.

Every day they live in awe under the blessing of the God in their hearts and follow the laws of nature. It is indeed a happy thing no matter what!

This reminds me of a foreign friend of mine who once asked me Do you have any faith? I said there should be no, if you do, it should be Buddha. Then he said that when you are abroad, you must not say that you have no faith, otherwise everyone around you will regard you as a terrorist. Of course, in I can't make any comments here, but for Kathmandu, which has experienced such a big disaster and is relatively economically backward, it is a good thing. After all, if you have faith in your heart, you will be full of hope and have a little more hope. Isn’t it a good thing to have so much comfort and less discomfort?
