Wall Art

 
One of my favorite things that happens in all big cities is WALL ART! There's not a lot of good wall painting or graffiti around Kathmandu, but there's some. Here are some pictures of my favorites (so far).  This mural is near the MCC Office. Also close to Claire's house and John and Lynn's house. Hilarious, and also a good message.
This little toxic looking symbol reminds me of a pandabear for some reason. Something about that little face, or is it a bow tie, and top hat. I don't know. There's not a lot of cool graffiti around Kathmandu, but I think this looks pretty cool, and it is all over the Dobighat, Jawalkhel area where the MCC office is.
A gate into a residential compound. Cool bird art. Birdgate.
The shutter on a new made-in-Nepal bike brand's flagship store. The store's called Chain, and they make a nice mountain bike for a decent price (22,000 Rs).  FrogGate.


 This is another little tag that appears all over Jawalkhel neighborhood. Not totally sure what it means, but I like it.




...aand here's some communist propaganda imagery, probably from when the Maoists were campaigning all over the place a few years ago.
