If you go to Kathmandu for more than a day or so, wear a dust mask! I didn't really wear mine over my face for the first 3 days -serious mistake! I got a sinus infection which cleared up after 24 hours of wearing the mask...
Of course I covered the mask on my face with a bandana to remain fashionable!
Doing practice with dogs, monkeys, pigeons, people of many traditions, people celebrating their children's birthdays with no squabbles breaking out....except when one dog followed me around into other dogs territory.... then even the monkeys got into the rebuke.
Only once did a medium sized monkey half heartedly attempt to steal my water bottle :)
