Even though we had only met last evening at the welcome dinner, when we set out Monday, we were already Habitat friends.
An organized tour with driver and guide showed it's some city highlights before the bus ride to Duhliekil and our Habitat hotel. We did the Monkey Temple, the Boudha Stupa, a Tanhka painting studio and the Crematorium. They all have proper Nepali names, but too difficult to remember.
Most I had already visited one of the other times I was here. But the Boudha Stupa, a World Heritage UNESCO site was new to me. Badly damaged, it has been restored and opened again only 7 days ago.
The day was an opportunity to get acquainted with the team before our first day on the build.
The Stupa is in a Tibetan enclave, so naturally, the political message.
