Nepal series (1/3)- Kathmandou international airport

I apologize for being so long to write a new post, I was in Nepal for my holidays for about 10 days and the access to Internet was not really convenient (don't worry, they have internet everywhere in Nepal, i don't mean it that way).

For those who may have seen on the news, Nepal was on National strike last week due to the Maoist party; basically all shops were closed, only basic shops or tourist area shops were open from 6pm to 8pm. No vehicles were allowed in the streets, except tourist vehicles. No need to tell you that my holiday plans changed completely along the way and that I came back even more tense than when I left but well, that's life. The strike is over now, so I guess it's the right time to go now :.)
