KTM Guesthouse, Room 413 | Nepal

Room 413 | 29.10.2009
Kathmandu Guest House

Not to mention the countless hotel, guesthouse, second-hand bookstores, shops in Thamel...Kathmandu Guest House is a familiar landmark for the local taxi driver. Kathmandu in 2009, back then, the wireless network is still not popularized in the city. At night, travelers meet, exchange the newest travel information, talk about the experiences along the journey; And I would go to the same internet cafe, write an email to my friends...Instead of holding a smartphone, corners of the guidebook have got wrinkled and the page starts crease up. I would write a letter or postcard to you, Incline to the traditional way.

暂且不提泰米尔区不计其数的小旅馆，二手书店，商铺...地标式的加德满都旅馆，却是每个出租车司机都熟知的地点。09年的加德满都，还是个无线网没有普及的城市:旅行者们每晚交换着最新的旅行信息或者当天有趣的见闻；每晚去网吧，写每天的见闻给朋友...手上捧得更多的是书角已被翻阅起皱的Lonely Planet，而我也会用最传统的方式，写一封信或者明信片给你。

The air was refreshingly cool and clear in October. Unlike the previous room no.12, The snow mountains revealed themselves at the moment I walked in room.413.It has become the wake-up view of the following view.

10月的加德满都，空气清透。不同于之前院落内的12号房间，走进413号房间第一眼就能望见远方清晰可见的雪山 - 这也成了接下来的一周清晨第一眼看到的风景。

A week in Kathmandu, basked in the secondhand bookstore, gazing on the panoramic view of the Mt.Kailash which behind a plate glass window(Maybe this is why I've chosen to go to the Mt. Kailash Trek in the first place); Chatting, having a game of chess with Kashmir shopkeeper, whom I've known since the first time when I visit Nepal; Wandered around at the weekend market....The downstairs bar retains only unchanged thing: at 1:30 a.m, concluded the nightlife with the same song - Hotel California.

在加德满都的一周，白天沉浸在二手书店，或是望着橱窗里的冈仁波齐山全景出了神（或许这也是选择14年去转山最初的念想）;和小时候熟识的克什米尔店主聊天，下棋;周末去逛当地集市...不变的是旅馆楼下的酒吧，夜里1点半准时以一首Hotel California 作为当晚的结束曲。
