My Country My Pride ...My City ..Bhaktapur

Located about 20 km east of Kathmandu in the Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur is known as the 'City of Devotees', the 'City of Culture', the 'Living Heritage', and 'Nepal's Cultural Gem'. It is one of the 3 royal cities in the Kathmandu Valley. The others are Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and Patan.
Bhaktapur is filled with monuments, most terra-cotta with carved wood columns, palaces and temples with elaborate carvings, gilded roofs, open courtyards. The city is dotted with pagodas and religious shrines.
Lying along the ancient trade route between India and Tibet, Bhaktapur is surrounded by mountains and provides a magnificent view of the Himalayas.

Hummer Safety

Owners like to pretend that their Hummers are tough by running things over…



Wow, good job, your Hummer can run over a 30-year-old, broken-down car.



Is this really fair?

Deceleration is hard enough on the body without a bounce in the opposite direction.



Take note of how the much smaller truck in the background is in about the same shape.
