Lumbini

Lumbini is a small town on the border of Nepal, which is also the town where Buddha is born. There isn't much to do in this town other than visiting that place in question, and it's a nice mid-point place to rest before border-crossing to India!

This is what it looks like from the outside. Photos are not allowed inside, but I'm a rule breaker, so...

...here's the inside. Basically, there are people waiting in line to see the exact spot where Buddha is born. That's about it.

There were many monks behind that place near the tree where Buddha meditated.

I'm not Buddhist, and if you're not Buddhist, you will not really "feel" anything spiritual here, but it's fun to do some people-watching!

...and that was my Christmas! I ate a Christmas cake with strangers at the hotel :)
