 Huna pani ek dam over corruption cha Nepal ma. Dherai pachadi Nepal gaako, runai maan lagyo. 

 I weighed my luggage at home. It was little less than allowed weight. In TIA it was 3+3 kg over weight including my carry on. Guy wanted money from me. But then I persist to talk to manager and he told me that I do not need to pay anything this time, but next time they will charge me. How can the same luggage in house and TIA weighs different?

We took 2 taxis from Singha Durbar to our house. One shows Rs200 other one Rs300. And the guy with Rs300 is not scared of being caught. He kept on arguing for the meter fare. People starts gathering and he left. 

In Durbar Margh they hesistate to give you parking receipt. Its only Rs20 over 2 hours, clearly written in the receipt. But they ask you for 30-40. I asked him why is the difference. Funny part is........ He read the receipt incorrectly. LOL. That was funny. It happens all the time. 

So many incidents like that, Kathmandu is not what it used to be. You go to some business, they treat you like, they are doing you a favor, not that you are their customers. 

You go to trek and they hesistate to give room to Nepali. If they did, for the same price like tourists, they give you low quality room. Total discrimination by own Nepalese people. After I came back from Nepal, I do not think white people really discriminate to us any more. They are really civilized. 

Not all of them were like that, but many were. My very existence in KTM was unbearable. Sorry but thats the reality of our country. 

Jai Nepal.
