Religion (a mix of Buddhism and Hinduism) and history is everywhere in Kathmandu, the City of Temples. When you explore this city, you can easily find a temple. Miton and I explored three ancient cities called Kantipur, Bhaktapur, and Patan Dubar. Originally the three brothers were kings ruled these cities, and they were competitive in developing the city squares. It’s interesting to walk around and see the different items being sold on the streets including hand-made pottery, fabrics, Thanka paintings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thangka), and traditional kukri knives (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukri).
