The steep road from the parking lot to Changu Narayan temple, outside of Kathmandu, is lined with little stores selling things to tourists. There were few visitors on the day we were there and business was slow. These two men passed the time playing a game I saw many times in Nepal - never did figure out the point.
I said I was going to get back to leaving comments on my friends blogs last night. Yeah, right. I fell asleep around 7 o'clock and proceeded stay conked out for the next 12 hours. I got to be over the jet lag now. Back to my duties today. And there's local material to shoot: the annual Dancing In The Streets festival is today. Got some good stuff at last year's event.

It's Carrom", which I played as a kid. It's like air hockey or billiards except the surface is this super polished wood dusted with talc powder.
ReplyDeleteThey look *very* happy, maybe because they know that you *don't* know the purpose of the game! Sleep well!
