What to do in Kathmandu?
All right folks, I am back with a new post. Those of you who have been visiting this site know that I havee been making few changes here. I am spending time developing new features which will be launched within a week or two. As about the donation for Koshi flood relief is concerned, I am not disappointed by the minimal collection. After all, we know that the blog is too young to perform!
Now about the content of today’s post. What to do in Kathmandu? Well, I am sure each of us have a different to-do list when visiting Kathmandu but this post is about a song in YouTube that is titled so.
The song is from the strangely named band Curfew Crew which, as you can figure out from the video, seems to have been formed by a group of tourists that met in Kathmandu. Nepalese politics apparently played its role in the naming of the band.
The fun nature of the music video can probably be sensed from this paragraph the band has posted in the info section:
“The plot was supposed to be a bit more complex but since we only had a 100,000-dollar budget we were not able to do everything we had initially planned. The beginning of the song is in English and the rap and traditional part are sung in Nepali. A comment on the stunts – the real actors played in the death-defyingly dangerous motorcycle stunts. Real razors were used in the shaving scene. We The Curfew Crew hope that this song leaves you with some idea of what to do whilst in Kathmandu… No animals were injured in the making of this film but one wig was utterly destroyed.“
I am not sure where the 100,000 dollar, which they say was not enough for the recording, was spent. I thought that was the budget for a typical Nepalese movie!
I like the song and enjoy it every time. There are several lines I like in the song; I will let you tell the one you liked.
Enjoy!

ya the video is a real revelation. I can sense the foreigner’s love for Kathmandu through all the fun he might have had in there. Video has been made in (very) low budget but is handled by able hands. A bit disappointing though that all that Kathmandu is known for today is exactly what has been expressed here. True picture!
cool rahichha video…
