Teej

During the festival Teej. The Hindu women are lined up waiting to enter the holiest Hindu site in Nepal - Pashupatinath - to pray for the well-being of their husband. The unmarried girls pray for a good and kindhearted husband.

The oasis of the restaurant 1905 - right in the middle of the chaos of dust, noise and exhaust fumes that constitute the city of Kathmandu. Every Saturday morning this place holds the Farmer's market where the local farmers and craftsmen gather to sell their products. A nice place where to acquire Italian or French cheese, Polish meat, Nepali bread, jam and vegetables and a lot more. Saturdays are the only holidays per week in Nepal, however, 1905 was visited mostly by Westerners living in Kathmandu as this is one the rare options to buy good cheese, bread and organic vegetables in the city. 

The products sold here cannot be found in the local supermarkets, as the producers spread their production among the restaurants.

Children are thrilled to play the badminton - a gift from our friend Luke from the Netherlands. If the football ball goes to the boys only, then badminton is the field of the girls. 

The momo day! Older children doing a little bit of work each to make momos for all the orphanage. This food resembles dumplings, only in the inside, besides meet, Nepali people put also boiled potatoes or cabbage with onions and masala. A spicy tomato sauce is made to go together with the momos.

Parvati washing the heads of the little children with special medicine against lice. As they live so close together, it is no wonder that majority of the little ones have them. The queerest part is that all of them strongly believe that lice come from rain. We tried to explain that this is not true, but it was like trying to talk with a wall - they didn't bother to listen.
