Just arrived in Kathmandu I seem to be in countries emerging from war (in fact, and 's right) meet policemen and Maoists elsewhere, there are snipers everywhere inside the Garritt, checkpoints very Frequently, manifestizioni the streets, soldiers in riot gear, fire in the streets, strikes a day, cuts the current five or six hours a day .... we say that it just feels safe ... even if all comfort us saying that now the situation and 'quiet thanks to agreements between the Maoists and the government ... sara '...
clothes hung out to dry on the barbed wire of a checkpoint ...
flames in the city center '
soldiers in riot ...
police patrolling the streets ...
country and of course the 'poor and how can they arrange the people', to emphasize and make us understand that the situation 'are pretty serious machines and helicopters that the UN will meet very often ...
brick factory just outside Kathmandu, thanks to these factories can be found all around the Kathmandu Valley in the capital reigns a constant pall of dullness and smog that takes you to punch the lungs ... everybody told me, you'll see what it 'polluted Delhi, can not breathe ... you see I have never been in Kathmandu ...
but you only have to breathe a better air miles and more 'quiet, these are scenes that I photographed in Baktapur
Pokari then we move, the second city 'more' people of Nepal, and rent a bike to breathe better atmosphere soooooo more 'quiet and relaxed atmosphere of this small town' that runs along the lake, there was program quite a trek, but due to illness who takes Fabio alternately first and then I adios trekking, it will be 'next time ... although I'm sorry to have missed the everest, there were so close ...

and as we expected, we find a totally relaxed atmosphere, the villages of the Terai are famous for their slow pace and relaxed, of course, are somewhere Maoist block, but nothing that can not be solved with a good handful of rupees ...
