The Most Beautiful Bank in the World

In these present days, where people question the very route of our societies: money, the key factor to determine social position, opportunities and potential hapiness, many have blamed banks (receiving billions of Dollars, Pounds, Euros or any other currency in order not to die a painful death, dragging with them whole economies, countries, cultures indeed) or even capitalism itself (= evil) I think it is just fair to ask the question if banks have to be soulless, technocratic, heartless institutions or if it wouldn't be possible to bring back blissfullness into banking, merryness into money, [any positive word starting with "i" anyone?] into investment. Maybe Josef Ackermann could to something about his and his institute's image by learning something from the Nepal Bank.

Simply beautiful, this branch in Pokhara, Nepal!
