Of the 4 countries we've visited, Nepal has the greatest selection of foods. Nearly every restaurant will have a continental food section, and french fries are available everywhere for those culinary cowards - for the first week, I counted myself among them. These days it's rare for me to have any dish with a name I can pronounce.
When I first arrived at night in Kathmandu it was all chaos, yet I was still unprepared for the chaos of the next morning. We stepped out of our hotel room, and I was positively beaming. It was complete sensation overload. The bright colors of textiles, the sheen of brass and copper crafts and jewelry, the smell of incense burning in store entrances, and the harsh sound of street "musicians" selling small instruments.
