Comfort Zone

P: There's my friend Robert playing the clarinet. He's also beginning to teach me a bit more about music from a structural point of view, and we may soon do some musical experiments together.
C: This was a brilliant "mash up" of sounds and culture: gentleman on the far right is from Nashville TN and has brought country music to the streets of Kathmandu. Far left, the singer and wife of the man on the far right, straight from Kathmandu, singing traditional Nepali songs to the tune of standard country. All night we kept repeating "where are we..." The sights and sounds so untypical of Nepal but yet so typical of Thamel- the part of town where all worlds seem to collide. It was beautifully strange.


P: That's the entrance of the lounge.
