this video is brought to you by Squarespace because you are working hard and waiting  for me all day welcome to Commando guys   today I'm traveling to one of the best  places to visit here in Kathmandu hello   Buddhism in Nepal is very famous here although  only 10 of Nepal is uh Buddhist however it has a   huge concentration of Buddhist temples and it is  known that the Buddha was born in Nepal however   that is contested by the Indians but anyway  we're going to be traveling to the monkey temple   which is also a Buddhist temple with my friends  what's your name again I know he's taking me three   dollars to the monkey temple um and we're gonna  explore around and then after I'm going to visit   um maybe try and find some local alcohol some  moonshine I think they call it Janu

Temple you're giving me a tour of Nepal wow the thing about Nepal and Kathmandu is just  like the history here it's just absolutely   incredible like even just these houses and  these random shops the wooden architecture   of it is absolutely insane but they only  downside to this is because they're so old   um they aren't built very well so therefore when  an earthquake comes like in 2015 they just get   absolutely destroyed but look at these look  at these houses look at the wires we're just   going on a crazy adventure I arrived in  Nepal two days ago two days yeah yeah so   I just see

years back we have a lot of Japanese really  tourists but I think now Japanese economy is going   down I don't think they travel a lot in Nepal  yeah and so I saw some Korean people there as   well so yeah we have Korean and Japanese but yeah  convert to 20 years back because 20 years back we   have like Western and Japanese like all 50 50  . yeah yeah wow yeah but now Japanese we don't   we rarely see Japanese a few Japanese yeah  there's a Japanese uh restaurants yeah yeah yeah I love it I love Japanese it's good yeah you do  uh shisha as well yeah nice yeah it's very popular   here yeah here we go oh look at this Roxy wow  this is miso soup this is Mr soup what is this uh   is this Japanese or it's Japanese oh okay  nice I'm very into my soup at the moment   and this is lemongrass this lemongrass oh nice  so it's going to be very strong it's not really   strong because it's mixed now I'm English so we're  alcoholics in England so I can be I'm used to it   in nawara we call it Ayla for the reality yeah  yeah I mean yeah yeah it's made of rice so if   I'm asking people around what's the best what  if Captain you can call it is or you can say   John Roxy is like a very um informal okay okay  you can call it medicine and in the Oracle   what's up what's up means medicine so we call it  medicine I need some medicine and what about that   daru daru is from India okay okay thank you but  people people understand oh I know it's got some   vegetables in it this mixture oh it's got some oh  it's got some paneer in it I think it's the cheese I don't think I actually had miso soup  before so this is the first time trying [Music]   it's good it's very liquidy   um yeah it's like a different to a Western suit  where it's a lot more solid it's got the cheese in that that juice so tasty so much flavor in that okay more importantly   let's try this we finally found the Roxy  it took us like an hour but we found it oh strong very good got some nice  super super strong but very nice drum roll thank you so much the like I finished  that that was so literally like the the best   soup ever thank you so much very good and we got  the uh I've been slacking with this to be honest   another shot be easy to have with them almost as I keep getting the uh lemongrass in it   okay let's go for the Momos what's  this sauce tomato sauce tomato sauce okay spicy no normal spices this is good this is good thank you  so much let's give this a whirl we got   a load of different Momos there I can't  count them pen name almost with this   sauce see if it's spicy they're  like perfectly shaped surround in there as well it's a little bit of spice  but that's very different texture to the   chicken or the um Buffalo it's delicious  it's so delicious I love it I love it favorite meal although I haven't been  very diverse yet I haven't tried so   the traditional noiri food so that  is on the list but just for the first   few days I'm gonna be trying it was  much Momos and chow mein as I like ah so good all right   last one my mouth is on fire but that's good  means over the spicy meal and I've enjoyed it [Music] so easy and delicious to eat bananas to blow my nose because it's running and  we're gonna finish this I haven't really   had too much but we will finish it don't you  worry all right well we've been uh given a   little bit more Isla and let me tell you  this is 40 percent so yeah it's strong I   mean actually I think I'd prefer to just do it in  the shop so we'll just get over and done with it oh cleanses the palette wow that's like fire  [Music] I can feel it all down my uh throat   it's very good though oh God that's gonna leave  it aftertaste okay guys so for that meal I'm   surprised we come to like a really nice restaurant  Western food they sell so it's expecting it to be   quite a lot but it's 700 which is maybe a lot from  the poor standards but it's still five dollars   five US Dollars and I had you know two courses  an alcoholic drink as well as they gave me a free   shot so extremely good Hospitality here very good  service and I'll uh I'll give him a little bit of   a tip as well okay nice to meet you nice to
