Not to clash with some people here very often.
This is a very inspiring stroy. I wish him all the best. I wish I had his type of balls. Kudos.
I've a very different experience. I went to Nepal few years back, I was deterred to explain the diffulties and the ugliness of the life in America to my friends and family. I did, which I'm proud of. But I'm very sad to say that even my own family thought I was over exaggerating. I swear to you, my own brother who is a very well educated person in Nepal said "If people are willing to go to Baghdad with bullets flying through their head as soon as they land at the airport, what makes you think they'll get scared going to America?" Well, he's right in a sense. The situation in Nepal with unemployment has become so desperate that people are willing to risk their life. Well my cousin who was there attending my preaching ("Bakwash" is what they call at the time) is now in the US. Now when he complains how miserable his life is, I feel like punching his face and knocking all the 32 teeth from his mouth. But you know, you tell them the truth to Nepali people, they think it is a lie and go the other way and end up stepping on the shit.
Just my experience.....nothing much.
