Sidster you made some good points. I've some friends who went back to Nepal to start businesses. They were successful but not unless they fought hard against the non-existent work ethics, and ever-existent bureaucracy in Nepal. Needless to say, you need to be mentally very tough to handle these situations. A lot of people can't and eventually decide to come back.
But I do hope that the influx of new ideas and opportunities will somehow change that culture and people will be more responsible and be accountable for their actions. Somebody has to start it and get the momentum going.
