I just love this city. It’s a special place with a special energy. Despite it being the 5th poorest country in the world, the people are really friendly, and appear to be really quite happy.
I love the madness of the place. It's everything you'd expect from a third world city, but with plenty of sites to see too.
*I've just been on my 2nd trip to Kathmandu, and been caught up in riots, strikes and curfews. It's still a magical place, and I never felt in danger, and things are getting better there all the time.
