Swift update on the traffic in Nepal
Our budding Buddhist, Isobel Jones, has brought us another update from her Nepal Weblog.
It is at it’s heart a traffic update of sorts, with Isobel letting us all know about the state of the Boudhanath Main Road. Nevertheless she does away with the formalities usually afforded with such reportage and I have to say it makes it all the better:
“The Boudha Main Road in Boudhanath is MAD!
“You walk around the Stupa and even though everything seems quite busy; with nuns, monks and pilgrims, kids coming home from school, shoppers, dogs, Buddhist music, the occasional (well actually one, very small) cow and even the odd car or motorbike, this is nothing but nothing compared to the Boudha Main Road.”
Isobel is able to give some details about the locale where she is staying, such as where the nearest cashpoint is and also mentions again before signing off that in case she didn’t say so before:
“It is MAD…
“
