More Kathmandu

I have a day and half left in Nepal. Hopefully. I have my ticket in
hand now so that's the major difference since last time. Yesterday I
made a lot of friends. I drank Nepali tea with a fellow and chatted
for a good twenty minutes. Today was interesting too. I gave a boy who
was begging on the street half a loaf of bread and some honey and even
though it cost less than a dollar, he looked at me with such
thankfulness that it was like I bought him a new bike. In Edmonton,
you give a beggar five bucks and he hardly acknowledges you. What is
wrong?
I drew this picture. It is a typical Nepali man. The hats they wear
are given to them as a sign of respect. The older ones all seem to
wear vests too.
