I decided to move from TravelInn to Pushpahouse where I met another cool Chili couple. Also for the first time I met a nice Nepali guy through CouchSurfing who helped the three of us to go around Pokhara in local buses. We went to Devi's falls which is water falls called Davi after a woman who died there
This is Gnaish statue (God of luxury and money?)
people are trying to aim at his head with coins, whoever his coin fall on his head should get goodluck of somekind.
Nature in Pokhara is very pretty, the lake, the trees, the camels, hold on camels? WTF? this gotta be joke right?
Yea, they have it here as well but I didn’t really encounter many.
Women like to wash their cloths in the lakes – flash back to the dirty Nile river –

The couple I went with to Monkey temple decided to book bus ticket through their hotel I decided to take a bus on my own to Pokhara.
I really want to learn how to negotiate and experiment everything on my own and hopefully learn few lessons.
We agreed we would meet at the bus station when we arrive.
I woke up late packed really quickly only 10 minutes left before the bus take off
no taxies in the street. when I finally found one he asked for 200 rupee, I knew this is too much but there was no time.
not a good start for a person who wants to know how to negotiate.
arrived at the bus station, insisted to pay 400 rupee only for the ride.
only a filthy bus agreed to my price which I later learned he would’ve accepted 350 rupee.
should’ve paid 100 extra and get into a decent bus. see I am learning.
Nothing much to say here really enjoy some pictures from the monkey temple
6am: bells are ringing to wake me up, what the hell these bells are?
Its cold now but I know it will reach 20 degree soon.
7am: Finally hunger got strong enough to overcome my strong desire to stay in a warm bed.
Outside my hotel offered breakfast for 300 NRP its a lot of money or is it not? My rule is to remove two zeros and u end up with the amount in dollars then multiply by 7 to get amount in EGP.
So 20le for a breakfast sounds reasonable.

hours before traveling … not sure what to take and what to leave.
By the time I finished I realized how geek am I, the weight of electronic devices I brought is more than 65% of the total weight! Some of these things I will probably never need but I cant help it.
Beside the alternative is filling my bag with more dull cloths … yaak
I woke up early today so I am sure by 4am I will be like a real drunk, have a bad feeling about this.
I did the checkin online to reduce the time of talking to employees.
