Patan: la penitencia de las cabras desdichadas
Languidecen a las puertas del templo como guiñapos. Su aspecto es famélico y su mirada, sad. Ninguna caricia, ninguna mano que les alargue algo de comida. Morirán de hambre o sacrificadas a Shiva. Estas cabras que vagan como almas en pena cargan con las culpas de devotos hinduistas y son consideradas impuras.

The howler monkeys scrutinizing visitors looking for something to eat while traveling tireless offer local crafts. If you wear something you lost sight, because you will not be left alone. It is said that Buddha preached among these forests, how not surrounded by monkeys". Swayambhunath, the most important Buddhist stupa in Nepal, a report of VAP in pictures.

Kathmandú: la masacre de la familia real
When I visit Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, King Gyanendra is still reeling and the city is surrounded by Maoist rebels. The cannon that sat on the throne was a massacre that turned the world 2001. The crown prince shot dead his parents, Kings, and the cream of the royal family. After the regicide, the crown could only sit at the head of Gyanendra.
