There are stingy situations here as well, the other day I helped some monks catch a scorpion as they were afraid of it, me being a good Mexican grew up with them (no we don’t eat them in Mexico), so it was a very simple operation, then we realize the creature on the bush, there are also huge fields of Nettles (Urtica dioica), all over the place growing by the road side and houses and everywhere, not to many people knows the medical benefit of this plant, you can not even find a bag of nettle tea in town, some foreigners get stinged by this plants and don’t know what to do, it is funny seeing their faces, when they get it.
Also I have seen a couple of Mongoose, I wanted to take pics of them but I did not wanted to get in the bush to get closer as their main meal is Cobras and I don’t want to find out if there are any around here.
As you can see there is never a dull moment around here....
But nothing is as chalenging and dangerous as going to the ATM machine to retrive money (there is only one in town), you see it is the favorite place of some of the locals,


THIS IS THE BEST PROTECTION AGAINST GETTING TO MUCH MONEY


and then try to pass by them without getting a scratch its not easy, and that is no BULL, I hope you agree with me??????.


THIS IS TO MUCH EVEN FOR A MEXICAN BULL FIGHTER, (you should see their deposits???)

changing the subject to food, the Tibetan food is very simple but tasty and around here its very cheap, it cost about .50 to.60 cents for breakfast, lunch about 1 dollar and dinner about the same so with 3 to 4 dollars you can eat 3 meals a day, food is mostly vegetarian and thank good Tibetan use chilies so I can eat all my food hot and spicy.



THIS IS THANTHUK MY FAV. TIBETAN SOUP, WITH VEGGIES, TOFU, HOME MADE PASTA AND CHILIES

The other day went to a Korean restaurant (there are 2 here), perhaps the best meal in town and for all standards very expensive, it was about 8.00 dollars but it was a great meal and complete with rice, kimchi, which I love, salads and the main dish, it is funny but there are 2 Italian type restaurants Run by Tibetans (actually most of the restaurants are owned by Tibetans and perhaps 2 or 3 by Indians, the funny thing is that a lot of the foreigners believe that this Italian restaurants serve pretty good Italian food, in some cases just as good as in Italy???, no offence to my Italian friends, they also have Mexican food (so called) in 2 or 3 places, such as corn chips and salsa, quesadillas and vegetarian Mexican hamburger.
