Some interesting tidbits
Here are some things quaint about Nepal:
Small doors? The city of Kathmandu was built almost 2000 years ago!
- the doors in Nepalese houses, especially the old ones (think hundred of years), have very small and low doors. The guide explains that this is because they believe there are house spirits who reside within the house and when the door frame is so small and low, you'd always have to bow before you enter the house and this ensure you shows respect to the gods and spirits within! :)
Vote for tree? ALWAYS!
- Actually that's the symbol of a political party in Nepal *grin*
