Native's Shopping Tip!!
Don't pay at the price asked. Price negotiation is necessary. (:
Daniel changes for a Nepalese superman. Oops!!!
While he is at it, he buys a traditional outfit. His choice is the one on the right. What is the difference??
Mark bets ice cream against a Nepalese on a ping pong game on the street. The cashmere shopkeeper maybe sees him a pushover. lol, Mark and Yoo Se Yoon had to stay in the store for about an hour, but the investment analyst summed up the situation admirably. Oh, ~~~ Se Yoon also looks at him in admiration. (:
The two go to a barbershop. Mark has a new experience of shaving with a big knife for once in his life. He looks very satisfied, but Se Yoon finds that he is bleeding from the neck. lol
It was truly amazing how Se Yoon got a face massage using thread and shampooed his dry hair.
Members who happen to meet a group of female university students in traditional Nepalese clothing on the street ask them who have an exceptional sense of style. Mark hits the bottom without fail. :(
Can he remove the stigma of the tailender before the journey ends?
The members try to eat Dal Bhat, a traditional Nepalese food, with their fingers. Sujan only touches hot food very well with his bare hand. The country host let the other travelers know dining etiquette in the gods' country. People have to eat meals in quietness paying respects to the grain-god.
Machapuchare, a sacred mountain in Nepal, is off-limit to the public at all times. It is viewed differently according to the direction from which people see.
People who try to climb Mount Annapurna pay a visit to the Barahi temple on an island in the middle of a lake to pray for safety.
A wish cannot be told anybody before it comes true.
However, members except Sujan spoke for the camera. :(

The lake is stream-fed but a dam regulates the water reserve, therefore, the lake is classified as a semi-natural freshwater lake.
A three-hour trekking course for beginners
Alberto is full of confidence at the entrance. (:
He realizes soon it is not as easy as he thinks. lol
Sujan, Mark, and Alberto voluntarily lighten other staffs' load. Good~!!
The three got to the top of the mountain lie down on their back feeling on top of the world(?). (:
On the other hand, Se Yoon, Daniel, and
Zhang Yuan go paragliding.
Yuan especially in a funk of the height. haha
Please don't go!!!
Daniel flew off without installing a camera. lol
A paragliding professional sings a Chinese song for the terrified adult.
Se Yoon looks enjoying himself to the full.
Let' pray for Nepal!
