DC is def. hapenning. A lot of PC vols. A good friend of mine did PC in Kazaksthan and in DC now. I have met few other PCs through her. Cool bunch. NYC is probably much more than here though. Yup, did schooling here & doing 9to5 now, which becomes 7to6 at times. from KTM.

Only in nepal...do people speed up when they hear an ambulance or fire truck (once i called fire brigade and my friends were laughing for days)

I think you got to have a good sense of humor to enjoy this thread. I guess its not for everybody.

i've never been to dc, but would love to go check it out sometime. i'm not surprised that alot of pc volunteers end up there, crazy political bunch! yeah, nyc is the place to meet any and all kinds of people, but i actually am not in the city. i live in upstate ny right now. i went down to nyc last weekend for the opening of the rubin museum of himalayan art and met a lot of great nepalis. they loved when my pc friend and i spoke to each other in nepali. "eh, saathi, ta pani estai naachna sakchhas?" they weren't expecting that from a couple of goro maanches.

Only in Nepal
people get up at 3 in the morning to go to the temple

the government declares a political group terrorist, yet want to do peace deal with them

people turn out in hundreds of thousands for a rally they have no business to be in

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while
sleeping. ( and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos: ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how??...)

bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and... I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what?)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

# do Taxi drivers charge DOUBLE if u take them even a bit farther than the main city.

Was always confronted with this problem, when in KTM last month ! The excuse is that they don't get passenger when they return after dropping us off, as we have made them come a bit far, hence we pay the return fair too!! Simply Preposterous!

# do we have to cross the road maybe 3/4 times for a mile each,alternating left and right to avoid de evil leer of this group of boys found in almost all the streets.

# do most of the ppl think a female with a white coat HAS to be a nurse and a male HAS to be a "Daktar Sahab".

# are dying/terminally ill ppl taken to the aryaghat before they die. Then his/her famil waits for him/her to die! [ Narayana bhanuss ba !] with the funeral pyre already set up !

Moving to Only in America ..... some of my observations

Only in America

do people go crazy for free food
(Even Howard Dean was hurrying up from a press conference to catch free pie earlier this year)

people think who can't speak very well English are dumb

the first question they ask is "what do you eat there?" when you say you are from Nepal. (Duhhh, we also eat food)

parents praise their kids for getting C (Good Job Larry, you did great)

people travel all the way to Europe and eat in Mac Donald

people go to Cancun, get all you can drink package in the hotel, get drunk every single day and night, come back home and say " Yea, I had a great time in Mexico, it was hilarious.

do people go to a thirld world country, stay in the cheap ass guest houses there (less than 2 $ per night), come home and complain, the room had bugs, ants, no hot water.

Only in Nepal : are people are not allowed to travel by tourist buses.

you dont believe me? try going to ktm from pokhara by a tourist couch and huge pahalmaans will kick you out of the bus at a traffic checkpost (called dadako-naak). the reason that you may bring (for instance, this bus belongs to my uncle... or blah blah) are likely to be worthless.

let's wait for a day when all the hoteliers of ktm will kick out everyone from their rented rooms (dera) and force them to eat and sleep at their hotels.
