Nepali phrasebook

Nepali (नेपाली) is the sole official language of Nepal, and one of the official languages of India. It's related to Hindi, Punjabi, and other Indo-Aryan languages, and is normally written with the Devanagari script (as is Hindi). While most Nepalese people speak at least some Nepali, there are more than 100 different languages and dialects spoken in Nepal. Other languages spoken in Nepal include Tharu around Chitwan, Newari in the Kathmandu Valley, and Sharwa (Sherpa) in the Everest area. Nepali is also the lingua franca of the Indian state of Sikkim.

Most educated Indians and Nepalis are able to communicate in English. Learning even a few words of Nepali can be fun and very useful, especially outside of the tourist district and while trekking.

There are lots words of borrowed from other languages like English, Hindi, French etc. These loan words are slightly modified or are kept unaltered. Therefore, most Nepalese will understand English nouns like television and computer, rather than their Nepali counterparts.

Months
The Nepali Calendar, called Bikram Sambat or B.S., is a lunar calendar based on ancient Hindu tradition.

Nerja

Nerja (pronounced like: N'air'-ha) is a seaside resort on the Costa del Sol, in the region of Andalucia of Spain. It is one of the few resort towns on Costa del Sol that isn't dominated by large ugly concrete hotels. It's in the attractive foothills of the Sierra Almijara mountains.

It is famous in Spain as the location of the Eighties children's TV program Verano azul a fact celebrated in one of the local parks with plaques and a replica of the boat used in the program.

Understand
Don't be misled by the tourist brochure descriptions of Nerja as a fishing village. Tourism is this town's main industry and the few fishermen with their boats still to be seen along the beach provide a picturesque scene for visitors and a slim livelihood for local families. Until about the 1990s, the town retained a strong Spanish identity, but the influx of northern European visitors and residents has eroded significantly the genuine charm of a truly Spanish working town.

Compared to many other Costa Del Sol destinations, especially to the west of Malaga, Nerja is not a very "touristy" town. It is a quiet town with a central historical area that still feels like a village, and the tourist mix is not exclusively northern European as many Spanish people use this resort for holidays, together with French and Italians. Unsurprisingly, the town's relative peacefulness and the absence of high rise developments along the coast or noisy nightclubs means many British people have retired here.

The town is built on a hillside with a not too steep gradient and the sprawling centre consists of an older part with white streets partly pedestrianized mainly to the east of the Balcon de Europa, the natural focus of the town and the venue for fiestas, but beyond the 17th-century church and the Plaza Cavana more modern development takes over and it is in these areas that the town seems like any other recently developed Spanish Costa resort.

Get in
There is no plane, boat or train service to Nerja - the nearest city you can access with these modes of transport is Malaga to the west. The train station in Malaga is across the street from the bus station, where you catch a bus to Nerja. The port in Malaga serves cruise ships from North Africa (alternatively, there is a seaport in Almeria to the east).

From Malaga Airport, which is served by flights from across Europe and America, you can drive along the A-7 E-15 motorway in the direction of Almeria and Motril, hire a taxi to Nerja (which will cost €78-100), or you can take a bus to the Malaga bus station and transfer to a Nerja-bound bus there.

By bus
The bus stop in Nerja is on Avenida de Pescia, between a large roundabout and a bridge with blue railings. There's no facilities - it's just a ticket booth with benches, with taxis occasionally parking across the street. The stop is about a 10-minute walk inland from the Balcony of Europe and serves buses along the coast and to the major Andalusian cities. From Malaga there is non-stop service available and a trip will cost less than €5. There is also another bus stop a few miles outside Nerja proper serving the Nerja caves.

Nerja has buses to many other places in southern Spain, but some as few as one bus a day.

By car
The A-7 E-15 motorway runs parallel to the coast, with Nerja about a 10-minute drive from the clearly marked freeway exit. Be aware that the long Torrox tunnel you will drive through has cameras at both ends to calculate your speed and fines for speeding are harsh.

Even in the winter months, street parking can be very difficult in the town's narrow and sometimes one-way streets, so use one of the two large central carparks instead - One is off Calle La Cruz, in the middle of town, which charges a reasonable rate per hour. The other is a larger car park off Prol Carabeo, a 5-minute walk from the town centre and the one most often used by locals but very expensive for visitors.

The town has several roundabouts. The Spanish are taught to drive around the outside of a roundabout, even when going all the way around, and have the right-of-way when they do so. This leads to them cutting across the path of tourists on the inside who think they have the right-of-way. Also, many people tend to step out onto crossings without looking so always be prepared to stop at a crossing.

Distances to Nerja: Madrid 550 km, Almeria 170 km, Granada 105 km, Malaga 50 km.

Get around
Walking is the easiest way. The centre of Nerja is small enough to be able to walk around on foot though you will find yourself walking up or down a sometimes gradual, sometimes steep hill much of the time. As the town has no specific centre, shops, banks, bars and eateries are scattered throughout the town.

There is a bus from the beach near the Monica hotel which takes you uphill as far as the Sol supermarket. Next stop is about a mile out of town, before returning on the same route. Another bus from the same stop takes you uphill then along the N340 and past where the Tuesday and Sunday market is held (it stops there on the way there and back so gets very crowded on market days). Do not get them mixed up.

 * The Balcony of Europe (Balcón de Europa) is a reconstructed promenade built out onto a natural headland in the centre of town with spectacular views along the coast. It was constructed around 1487 in the place of a 9th-century castle. The balcony today is the main focus for the town, with a tree-lined paseo surrounded by cafes and ice cream shops and frequented by street performers and the occasional concert. Granted, for all the attention tourist guides give to this place there's not much to do except look up and down the coast, but the views are spectacular. Beneath the overlook, a glass-walled restaurant offers the chance to eat in a sit-down setting while taking in the scenery, but you can expect a high price tag for the privilege.

 * Beaches. There are thirteen kilometers of beaches in Nerja.

 * Painting course and workshops, Painting course in Spain, Nerja which will be held from November up to February. The course will be given by Guus van Lingen. This is the way to become a better painter. See painting-course-spain.com/

There is also a local Feria celebration in October which goes on for about a week, day and night, well into the early hours of the morning. If you are staying anywhere near the celebrations, don't expect to get to sleep till the noise finally stops.

Walks
Nerja is set in the attractive foothills of the Sierra de Almijarra and has plenty of good walking routes for all abilities nearby. However increasingly around town there is dog muck on the pavements from lazy dog owners who are legally obliged to pick it up in bags and dispose of it. This is despite an army of street cleaners out each morning who work to keep the streets tidy.

 * Pick up the free Nerja walks guide book in the Tourist Information office near the Balcon de Europa. The book details a wide variety of walks in the area, with maps and directions for where to walk, and interesting facts about the places you pass.

Also a Lidl a little way along the Frigiliana road out of town. Supermarket hours are normally M-Sa 09:15 to 21:15. Although superficially there appear to be many foreign-owned tourist restaurants, there are a significant number of Spanish-owned places since the town has a large Spanish population.

Drink

Neryungri

Neryungri (Russian:Не́рюнгри, Ner-yun-gry) is a city in Yakutia.

Understand
The relatively modern coal mining town of around 65 000 people was built attractively on a hill top overlooking an enormous coal mine. The coal mine today consists of one large open pit, 5 smaller pits, and an underground section.

Get in
After several years of construction the railroad has finally reached Neryungri, in 2013 it will even reach Yakutsk. Trains leave Moscow via Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk three times every week and there are also services from Blagoveshchensk and Khabarovsk. The railway station is located about 4km southeat of the city centre.

Two long-distance bus services per week also connects with Yakutsk taking 18-20 hours. Mini-buses are also a popular way of travelling although they don't run on a fixed schedule.

Get around
The city is compact and can be covered on foot. A network of buses and marshrutkas also cover the town and nearby areas.

See

 * The central park and war memorial.
 * The mine site. You will need to obtain permission to enter the actual mining site, but sometimes a good story is enough to be allowed access to the adjacent maintenance sheds. In these (one is a big blue building not far from the main security checkpoint) enormous mining trucks are pulled apart and fixed.

Eat
There are several restaurants and bars in the town.

Sleep
There is one hotel offering rooms for ₽1600 a night, and several smaller guest houses have much cheaper rates.

Go next
Visiting the mine is the main reason tourists come here, it is about 10km down a road on the other side of town to the railway station.

From here it is possible to catch a group taxi for the 12-16 h ride (around ₽3000) to Yakutsk. They usually time their departure with the arrival of trains from the south.

Nesebar

Nesebar (Bulgarian: Несебър, also romanized Nessebar, pronounced neh-SEH-buhr) is a town in Bulgaria, on the Black Sea coast.

Understand
Nesebar itself consists of a new town and an old town, the latter located on the ex-island. Old Nesebar is a central ancient town full of medieval churches and quite beautiful. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

By bus

Bus schedule (as of Sep 2021):
 * Sunny Beach Bus: Emona (restaurant) - Strandja (hotel) - Centre - Svejest (hotel) - Arda (hotel) - Continental (hotel) - Fregata (hotel) - Stadium - Festa Panorama (hotel) - DSK bank - Old Nesebar
 * Bus 2: Sunny Beach - Water park - Black Sea complex - Nesebar
 * Bus 4: Nesebar - Sunny Beach - Kosharitsa
 * Bus 5: Nesebar - Sunny Beach - St. Vlas
 * Bus 6: Nesebar - Sunny Beach - Gyulyovtsa

 * Bus 8: Sunny Beach - St. Vlas - Elenite
 * Bus 10: Sunny Beach - Nesebar - Ravda - Aheloy - Pomorie - Burgas

From specific destinations:
 * Surrounding resorts – There are regular (every 15 mins) local buses into Nesebar. If you are on a package holiday in one of the nearby resorts, the rep may try to sell you an excursion to Nesebar on the basis that local buses are unreliable, confusing and expensive; ignore them. You can get buses to Nesebar that are clearly marked in English from numerous bus stops along the main road, and they only cost 1.50 лв.
 * Burgas – Hourly buses run for 7 лв.
 * Sunny Beach – The Burgas bus (unless marked 10) might not run to Old Nesebar. Better take the Nesebar-Sunny Beach bus to the corner of old town.

By boat
You can also get a tourist boat from Sunny Beach to Old Nesebar. It is more expensive and less frequent that the buses.

Get around
Roads in and around the Old Nesebar are quite narrow and cobbled. It is probably wise to park just outside of the old town and go on foot. The cobblestone does make wheelchair access quite difficult but some streets have smoother surfaces.

See
Part of the ancient town of Messembria (the old town of Nesebar) has sunk under water. When counting the numerous sunken ones, Nesebar becomes the town with most churches per capita in Bulgaria. Many of these churches are older than Bulgaria itself. The old town gates are a popular photo spot, the beaches on the south of the island are also often busy.

Do
The main things to do in Old Nesebar are to wander around the cobbled streets and visit the churches. In winter museums are closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Buy
There are numerous shops and stalls selling souvenirs in Old Nesebar. Most of their stuff is cheap tourist tat, but you can pick up locally produced lace too.

Eat
There are loads of restaurants in Old Nesebar, with a high proportion employing touts to encourage tourists into their premises. These are likely to be more expensive that most restaurants in Bulgaria, and not very good quality. The Tequila Bar is often recommended though.

Drink

 * Zagorka is the national lager and is excellent value and tasty.
 * Kamenitza is also a good beer known nationally in Bulgaria.
 * Burgasko is the local beer but have heard rumors that the quality has declined.

Sleep
Much of the accommodation around Nesebar is in Sunny Beach, a massive tourist resort to the north of the town.

Stay safe
Nesebar is extremely safe but you may find that the sellers and shopkeepers are very persistent. A lot of the time a shop keeper will insist on following you around the shop and trying to make you try on jewellery clothes etc. A polite but firm "no" usually suffices.

Go next
There are regular buses to:

 * Sunny Beach – The largest beach resort in Bulgaria, in the southern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea Riviera stretching along a beautiful semicircular bay facing east. It feels more like a fairground than a city.
 * Bourgas – The second biggest city on Bulgaria's coast.
 * Varna – The nation's third largest city, primarily famous for its nearby beach resorts, like Golden Sand, with a notorious nightlife, especially during the summer season.

Nesso

Nesso is a small village built on the lush and steep banks of Lake Como in the Lombardy region of Italy. It is about halfway between the towns of Como and Bellagio.

The word Nesso is also the Italian name for Nessus, the centaur who was the ferryman on the river Euenos.

By bus
The C30 Bus line (the blue Como-Nesso-Bellagio line) regularly serves Nesso. It comes through about once an hour in each direction and has three stops in the town. The bus schedule can be found on the bus website in pdf form.

By boat
The ferry and boat service on Lake Como does stop at Nesso. However, because the town is so small, only the slower ferries with many other stops provide service to Nesso. The boat schedule can be found on the Navigazione website.

Buy
It is quite common for stores and the like to close after lunch and then re-open around 3 or 4. Many stores are also closed on Wednesday and Saturday afternoon as well as all of Sunday.

There are two grocery stores in Nesso and they both follow this practice. One of the stores is on the street level (at the first bus stop in town - coming from Como) near the waterfall/roman bridge. The other store is down the steps to the north (towards Bellagio) near the church.

Walking
Like many of the roads around the lake, the roads in Nesso are very narrow and frequented by full sized buses and apparently suicidal motorcyclists. Try not to walk on the road whenever possible. The beautiful cobbled walking paths either below or above the road provide an excellent alternative.

Swimming
The water by Nesso certainly looks cleaner than the water near Como. However, one should exercise some caution when swimming in it as water quality reports have shown the waters of Lake Como to have many times the accepted level of colony-forming bacteria. It is thought that this is from incomplete waste treatment.
