While traveling around Nepal I visited many temples, but the one at hill top Swayambhu in Kathmandu, infested with crazy wild monkeys was one of the more interesting ones. It’s one of the most holy and oldest of the temples
Chandragiri Hills : Kathmandu
On my last day in Nepal, I wanted to get away from the hustle bustle of Kathmandu city and say my farewell to the snowy mountains of the Himalaya, and so Chandragiri Hills were the perfect spot. I’m also a
Gujiming Temple, Confucian Temple, & Qinhuai River : Nanjing
In my recent trip to Nanjing I had a bit of time to wonder around and explore a bit more of the city, saw some new places, and revisited old favorites. Xuanwu Lake wasn’t too far away from the university
