Hi Guys, Have u faced the same problem? Well, people back home think that Im playing with Euros and they assume my life had changed since I come over Europe. And everyone is demanding something. My frens who hardly used to call me when I was in Ktm are sending mails regularly and write '' K ho yaar, hamilai birsane......I heard Mobile is cheap in Euorpe......'' Most of them expect something, one of my frens (?) even wrote ''100 Euro pathau na yaar, ek dum tens bhayo, ghar ma kati paisa magnu yaar......aba tirmo lagi 100 euro ta k thulo kura bhayo ra yaar, tyo 100 euro Nepal ma 9 hajar hunchha, please tyati pathau la...... I know u can send me more but that will be enough now'' Ive gone sick with such mails.....but they hardly know REALITY, how tough is life here, we toil every moment for hand to mouth. And hey one thing, THE VALUE OF MONEY IS MUCH BIGGER IN WESTERN SOCIETY THAN IN NEPAL ( in my opinion). People do not squander like in Nepal. FOr instance, In Nepal a person earning 5 hajar PM can spend 100/ 200 Rupees easily for breakast, lunch or some snacks but here even to spend euro they think twice. Ive never seen any Nepali people going to shop to get money by exchaning BOTTLES (beer bottles and something like that) but here in Europe, they dont throw EMPTY BOTTLES coz they get them 10 cents and they count it a lot. Not only that when they go for shopping, they carry their own plastic bags or other things to put the stuff REASON they have to pay for those PLATIC bags (hardly 20 cents). There r so many examples like this. What I realised that, we Nepalis like MONEY to spend and we feel great if we could do that im also not an exception. But pleae help me how to tackle with my friends mails? If I explain all these they say Im not helping them or something like that.......Have u ever been experienced such things?
