Tourism?
Location: Around Kathmandu, Nepal
Local Time: Wednesday, Oct 19, 2005 - 3:20pm
Today, Seth and I set out to walk to the other monkey temple in the area, in the opposite direction as yesterday. It is our thought that some long daily walks will be good preparation for the trek we want to make.
The second monkey temple, Pashupatinath, is located beside the Basmati river, and there are burning ghats along the river. For those who don't know, these are the sites where dead bodies are burned on pyres before the remains are thrown in the river.
Many things to think about, but most of all, I wonder about this.
What makes the 50 - 60 tourists think it is appropriate to stand across the river and photograph a funeral as if it was one of the local sites?
