Kathmandu Classics

While all you fat boys and girls were carving your turkey I was eating Nepali thali in Kathmandu.
Lovely.

Best taxi in the world -

And a Corolla -

Not quite classics but these little Indian made Maruti Suzuki´s are everywhere and are the main type of taxi available in Kathmandu.

I liked this one -

Most other taxis look a bit more like this -

Then it was off to see some reincarnation in progress at the crematorium.

This guy was reversing faster than I could grab a quick photo

Then I stumbled on to a classic car show (not really).

Got it started. Hurrah!

And then two wise men told me about the Temple of the White Corolla.

So I had to go and have a look.

Did some other stuff as well but not really relevant. :wink:

That´s all folks!

With the aid of a good translator I was reading it (and talking) like a local.
