well i would not call it american life style... i guess its most of the nepalese how they have been brought up. (culture / society).. i have seen recident immegrants from other countries; they are often helpful to each other and support their brother hood ..unlike nepalese.. One wants to be in top.. holding a good job and not let other nepalese get in.. / bother to help... some even insane.. they start making up their own "american accent" and pretend that they dont even know "Nepali" ... well time to grow up..
