Our first destination was Nagarkot, a hilltop village that gives a good view of the Himalayas. It took us almost two hours to get there by bus. We got there just in time for the sunset. We had to pass through a long, winding, uphill road. See how narrow the road is:
Bobbie (my law school batchmate who was coincidentally in Nepal at that time for internship) was right, it was like going to Tagaytay from Manila.
Since it was too cold outside, we stayed at this souvenir shop. I wanted to buy something to keep me warm (I left my jacket at the hotel :P), but decided to stick it out with the cold since I couldn’t find anything that would go with my outfit. Hehe
Prayer flags:
We watched as the sun went down and the colors of the horizon gradually changed. It was breathtaking. I was quite bummed I didn’t bring my long lens, but I wouldn’t want to lug around the extra weight anyway. So these are the best photos I could come up with. Of course, they don’t do justice to the actual view. 
After Nagarkot, we headed back to Kathmandu and straight to Nepali Chulo, a two-storey restaurant (that looks like a big mansion from outside) that serves local food. I wasn’t able to take photos of the exterior, so I just took pics of the food and some of the performances:
F or appetizer, they served us *drumroll* popcorn. Hehe
My sister with the bull. Hehe:
We think the place is haunted. One of our companions took a photo of this window using his iPhone. When we looked at the photo, an image of a little boy (about 2-3 years old) appeared on the other side of the window. It wasn’t very clear, but you could see the silhouette and that it seemed like he was looking in from outside. And we were on the second floor, so he was floating. The owner of the iPhone got so freaked out he deleted the photo. So now we have no evidence to back up the story. Hehe
We went back to the hotel and stayed there for the rest of the night. ‘Tried to watch TV but all they had were local shows. 😛
