Here we are touring close to Durbar Square - seems each city has one, and I don't know what the Durbar part means in Nepali, yet. This is one of my favourite pictures so far, I just love the marionettes they make here, they are each carved with much love and then hand painted. On an unrelated note, it does remind me of Team America, so I do need suspend that thought while they are lined up through all the markets! This square is about a 15 minute walk from Thamel, near my house, just past the spice market, close to where I got my sari made. I just can't believe that I'm starting to get to know my way around this city. It is still confusing, though, and at night time it is another navigational challenge altogether, which is not dared solo. Even if the Maoist leader lives around the corner from my house, it still isn't safe. That is an odd thing to write, by the way.
