palpali gaule, I totally agree with you. I went back to Nepal in 2003 after staying in USA for about 2.5 years. I was thrilled to see everything. The moment I started seeing mountains and hills of our beloved NEPAL, I felt like I was on a jounrey to heaven. It feels so good to be at your home. On the way home from the airport, I was being crazy. I started shouting 'Gousala', 'Pashupati' etc. with so much excitement that my family might have thought I was going nuts, however, that was the truth and that's exactly what you feel. To go to school (I Sc), I had to ride the 'khattare' bus of route number 19. I used to get so pissed off at them for stopping at the same spot for 20-30 minutes. But when I went back to Nepal, I was pleased to ride them again. So, the point is I missed everything, starting from the 'patrika pasal' to the buses I used to ride. Meeting family and friends was definitely the best part. It's so much of fun, I suggest each one of you to go to NEPAL if your status lets you do so. Don't worry about money. If you have, use it, if not, swipe the credit card. You can always pay it back once you get back. The fun you get there is worth swiping your CC.
