leaving Kathmandu(Nepal) to Bangkok(Thailand)

This summer, I traveled around north India, Nepal and Thailand (and Hokkaido in Japan later, after break).
However, most pictures I took while traveling were lost due to the problem of my laptop.

Some pictures believed to be lost were restored recently. Below are a few of them.
私は今年の夏にインドとネパルとタイとりょこうしました。

at Kathmandu airport, Nepal

Although still Thailand was left to travel, I felt that my long travel ended in Nepal because I was supposed to meet J in Thailand. One-year traveling alone ended at Kathmandu.

For me, signatures of Bangkok are seven eleven, and pink colored taxi.
わたしに、バンコクはピンクのタキシとseven elevenこんびにです。






In Nepal, I always felt hungry because the food was scarce there, especially on Himalayas, and therefore pricy. In Bangkok, although my budget for traveling was coming to end, I ate what I want and as much as I want, expecting J to come with money. But he didn't show up on the day he was supposed to come.
