Me hanging out with a Sadhu at Swayambhunath a.k.a. the Monkey Temple. He put his dreadlocks around me and I almost fell down because of how heavy they were!! No, I have not turned Hindu (you may ask because of the tikka on my forehead.) Actually this picture was from my first month in Nepal. When climbing the steps to Swayambhunath you are attacked by "sadhus" (not like this one) who come put a tikka on your forehead, and sprinkle flower petals on your head. "Good luck," they say... then they demand 100 rupees!! Good luck for who? I now have learned the intricacies of evading these "good luck" givers.
