We just returned from a short trip to Nepal. While wandering the dusty potholed streets lined with buildings that could either be in the midst of construction or falling down from old age (it's hard to tell often),in Kathmandu, it was sometimes hard to remember we were in the middle of a city. It seemed like every vacant lot was being used to grow a crop of something. The effect was quite charming, not to mention how much sense it made to grow food where the people lived.
It was nice to think that the majority of the food for sale on the streets was locally grown.
I especially liked the bicycle vendors moving around the city selling their wares.
The tea and spice shops were especially interesting with their exotic aromas.
Even the roof tops had gardens on them.

I could have spent hours poking around the small shops selling their home made low tech tools for the kitchen or garden.

Our time there was far too short this time, but we'll be back.
