Walk through Kathmandu´s Thamel
1. Juni 2009 von Thommy
2,5 seconds out of the hotel: „Sir, Riksha?“ „No, thanks“. 3 Seconds later „Mister, Taxi? Where are you going, Mister? Cheap!“, „No, thank“, „Where are you going? 100 Rupees, cheap!“,“No, thanks“. Riksha driver: „Riksha, Sir?, „No, thanks“. Next corner, „Sir, Carpet? Silk! Very good price, lucky first customer!“ Smile back, „No thanks“. Boy in front of me: „Sir, you want smoke? Hash?“, „No, we don´t smoke“, „Something else?“, no answer from us, we walk on. „Sir, where you go?“, no answer from us, just a questioning look. „Are you going to tempel?“, No anwer. „You where trekking? Where?“ No answer. „Wonna do rafting?“, „Need room? Very cheap,hot shower, clean!“, no anwer. Four steps further: „Hash? Smoke?“, „No!“, Dirty man: „ Where going? Can I help“, „No!“. Young boy: „Where from, Sir?“, Sorry, don´t feel like talking.“, boy: „ But I feel like talking! Where from, Sir?“, „Leave me alone!“, Boy: „But I feel like talking!“, „Then go and find somebody else to talk!“, Boy: „Hmm, want smoke?“. Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! We are now 120 meters away from our hotel!
Hahaha, I love this one! Kathmandu in a nutshell!!:) Hope you’re having a good time in China!
