While Kathmandu's eastern and northeastern neighbourhoods don't have much of scenic interest, they provide insights into contemporary life in the capital. Crowded Bagh Bazaar and Dilli Bazaar pretty much sum up one end of the spectrum, with their computer institutes, lawyers' cubbyholes and shops selling office furniture and "suitings and shirtings". ("Fine Art", incidentally, means sign-painting - there's always work for sign-painters in ever-changing Kathmandu.) Dilli Bazaar is also the home of Nepal's budding stock exchange. The other extreme is found further north in the shady lanes of Bhatbateni , Baluwatar and Maharajganj , where old money, new money and foreign money hide in walled compounds, along with embassies, aid organizations and corporate mansions. Between the two lie the hopeful settlements of a burgeoning middle class, who build their houses one floor at a time, as funds allow, and send their children off in uniforms to "English boarding schools" with names like "Bright Future" and "Little Flower". An "English" education is almost universally viewed as the key to success in the capital
