After about 30 hours of traveling we finally made it to Nepal. All I can say is–this city is CRAZY. I’ve never been in a place quite like it. There a around 1.4 million people who live here. A lot of people from India visit because there are some very special Buddhist temples in this city.
Trying to function after so much travel has been hard. We’re so exhausted that eating food is even a chore. Crossing the street here is like Frogger but in slow motion. You take a few steps and cars and motorbikes zoom all around you within inches of your body. Then, you take a few more steps. It’s not uncommon to be standing in the middle of the road with cars going fast all around. Traffic rules are not enforced here. The only rule? Don’t step backward or you’ll definitely get clipped!
This city is very polluted and almost everyone wears face masks
