Morning work at Chiyaghar, homely lunch, on to Bhaktapur, exploring the entire town, reading a lot, people watching, Na Pukhu lunch with friend, Newa lahana newari yum meal, new drink discoveries, friend catchup, hada ice cream, chiya sangai cafe, coolest ever, long ride home [Sun 29]

I'm writing this in late June, because of the 5-month stay out of my control. This is how life is, how it'll be. What to do.

Actually, as I write the proper blog blog it's mid-July, I went on a long vacation in between my vacations etc.

I went to work at Chiyaghar in the morning, despite finding it a bit too smoky and loud and not very nice. Had lunch at home.

Then took the pathao to Bhaktapur. Visited Bhaktapur durbar area, looked at the temples etcetera. Sat by a sattal and read, watched people take photos and all, so many tiktokers and bride-groom there, so many dancers using it as a background for their life stories.

RK came to see me around 3, we went to this place called Na Pukhu for lunch, it was alright though the juju dhau I tried was great. After she went to work I went to Newa lahana and had so much newari food. Also discovered the existence of Thwon for the first time, I was obsessed with it for a couple of weeks after that.

Couple of hours later, RK came from her work, we chilled, went to Hada Ice cream where I waited as she went home and got her motorbike. From there we drove to Chiya Sangai cafe, the coolest small tea place I've ever been to, there's a review of that place in these pages somewhere. Spent about an hour or two there, then she dropped me at Suryabinayak. Tried finding public transport, unsuccessfully, then took pathao back home. So cold.
