In 2010, thirty years before the day in Poon hill, we went down the mountain on foot, from Pokhara chartered to Bhaktapur, when we arrived at the city's annual thirty 2:00, Bhaktapur had to sleep, because the day before, was also in Nepal's Shiva Festival, still some people the street. Bhaktapur into the city, to the first feeling is shock, the moonlight, we see, throughout the high streets and back lanes temple, as well as various gods, so animal sculpture, is the site of the ancient city. The forty thousand square kilometers of the ancient city of almost no modern buildings, all kinds of houses and temples still retains the ancient style of medieval nepal. Maybe a house, a hotel, a restaurant, a coffee house, are many years ago in the building, although old, but be close by.......

Bhaktapur

Eleven of us without reservation situation, directly to the car over, but all of the hotel, inn all closed, the Bhaktapur is not our home, leave a man on duty, the people have to sleep, a group of women took us into an antique house, seems to be the inn, but they don't open the door. No way, we opened the Lonely Planet Nepal red book, map, in accordance with the above recommendation of the inn, from door to door to door, but as we how to beat the door and tried to ring the doorbell, not an open to us.

Then we divided into three teams, those who keep our backpack in the square, the other two dial separately to find the inn. The weather is very cold at the time, everyone just walking down the mountain, haven't finished our dinner, all shivering with cold, have to open the bag, take out down jacket to wear. In the middle of the street from time to time, local young people curious about us, make us feel very uneasy. But later we found, people in Bhaktapur is quite simple. A child with a team of people to find our hotel, a pair of husband and wife and I met, insist to show me the way to the inn, the husband drank a little wine, can hardly stand, but he can speak a little English, Zuiyan hazy pulling me to go to an inn door.

But whether they take the door, still nobody, the side door waiting for her husband, while pulling me, not fluent in English does not stop to chat with me, stuttering badly, I didn't catch what he was saying, and his wife was standing when he. Apparently drunk. I advise them to go home, but he still can not be reconciled, took out his mobile phone to call a friend, seems to have asked the inn's phone, and then to the inn inside the phone. Although we can hear the bell at the gate, but still no answer. Finally, I said to his wife, take her husband came home, she took her husband gave up, finally in my series of Tao Xie, husband reluctantly left. Although they didn't help me find a hotel, but the fee so great strength, but also pay phone, let I was moved.

See you hungry and cold, had to go to the inn, but found no fewer than four, still no results. In despair, the other team returned, the child with them, also found several Inn, finally found a hotel. The hotel is called Shiva guest house, $17 for a standard room, that is take a shower with hot water, although it hotel in the city outside of the gate, but in the ancient city gate, from the golden gate is also very close, very convenient, in this in the depth of night, to live is very good, big home back backpack, go outside the hotel to go to.
