The Palladian archways of this once fashionable promenade are dreadfully scruffy, and this isn't really like England's city of Bath anymore. Burger King and Dunkin Donuts, anyone? It's a sad skeleton from the British era, even with a Benetton store and a Starbucks. I bought a flat white and, with all the added charges for VAT and service on the bill, I paid the same as in America. This in a city where yesterday I ate a plate of momos from a snack bar for 50 rupees, or about $0.80. No wonder the government is trying to enforce tax compliance through currency changes.
