It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood

We decided to take a quick walk around the neighbourhood. Here are some of the sights:

Children everywhere. It is school time but these children are working the neighbourhood, selling fruit, veggies or whatever they can.

Cows all over. Xaiver said, ‘I didn’t know cows ate garbage!’ Neither did I.

Marijuana is freely growing for all to enjoy. There are fields of this stuff just a short walk away. Although it isn’t grown purposely, as people smoke it, the seeds find their way into the soil and whammo, you’ve got yourself a doobie heaven. I am surprise these places aren’t just stripped of all their goodies but it just sits there waiting for someone to appreciate its goodness.

Just a block from our house, this stuff is growing everywhere

Garbage, garbage, garbage. I am sure I will have many blogs discussing this amazing aspect of Nepal. It is too unreal to believe. What is worse, are the kids just playing in the piles of garbage either looking for treasures, or looking for food. You can’t really walk anywhere without encountering a load of garbage. This picture was taken on the walk my kids will make from school.
