My new favorite hotel

I was walking around Pokhara, Nepal when I saw this sign.

Maybe it means something else in Nepali?

I want to stay there just to see what it's like. Is the name of the place designed to lower the expectations of visitors? If you complain about the water not being hot enough or the TV not working, do they say, "You're staying in the Mea Culpa, what do you expect?"

I was walking around getting the permits for my hike. I love this town. It's quite warm here during the day, shorts and tshirts weather. Heck, it's night time as I'm writing this and I'm still in a tshirt. But it wasn't a perfect day. There were clouds in the sky.


Don't see them? Look just above the trees. The clouds are below the mountaintops.
