Science and Religion

Religion is the science of the inner. Science is the religion of the outer.

This was my last morning in Kathmandu-Thamel. I had breakfast on the rooftop of my hotel, then finished packing. I went down to buy some water. Before 12:00, I checked out and paid my bill. I ordered an inDrive taxi to get me to the Lotus Guest House. The driver arrived after 10 minutes to pick me up. The tour is only 5 km, but it takes 30 minutes in this traffic. My guesthouse is close to the big Buddha Stupa.

I checked in, my room is simple but clean, good for three nights. I left the property to explore the area. It feels very different from Thamel, much quieter.

Here is an area restricted for cars and bikes which feels very relaxing. I had lunch in a small garden Restaurant, Nepali Khana. It’s like an Indian Thali; a Thali is so much better. I miss the Indian kitchen.

Back in my room I slept for two hours. After waking up I had to sort out for a moment where I am and what time it is. It was 17:30. I left the guesthouse again to find an ATM. I passed the big Buddha Stupa.

I wasn’t hungry, I just sat down for a coffee. I walked around the Stupa, some Tibetan monks celebrated a ceremony. After a while, I found an ATM with the help of Google Maps. I just went back to my guesthouse, didn’t feel like doing anything more today.
