[OSM-np] House numbers in Nepal

[Prabhas Pokharel]

Here are some pictures I took on a walk in Baneshwor:

Houses are definitely ordered, although I'm not sure every single house is
numbered, right after the other.
Note, interestingly, the numbers with a / in it. (Like 606/61 Araniko
Marga). Those are actually not on the street that has the name Araniko
Marga, but on a Galli that splits off of Araniko Marga (which doesn't have
a name). All the houses on that galli will be labeled 606/sth.

Its amazingly organized, actually, just not obviously so.

Also, in Kathmandu (and not in Lalitpur), if you look up at the electricity
poles at intersections, you can see street names, all over the city. Don't
have pictures of that, unfortunately, but maybe someone currently in the
city can?
