A couple of shots, on the fly, as we were heading through main streets in Kathmandu towards the Patan museuem.
Who is wired to whom, and who keeps the records?
We stayed for a few days at the Hotel Vajra (good hotel, in the heart of Kathmandu, within walking distance over a partially paved road, to the "Monkey Temple"), and were introduced to the art of "load shedding", the periodic loss of electic power (often without warning, as, for example, in the middle of a shower). It seems that the water flow through the main rivers is so low this time of the year, before the monsoons kick in, that hydroelectric power is at a premium. Happily, we were always within reach of a pocket flashlight, to guide us to the candles that needed to be lit for the duration.
