A lot of times, what I notice, when people comparing Nepal and USA I see a notion that people are nostalgic to "their Nepal"..when they were growing up. Looks like intellectually, we all know by seeing in media but often fail to grasp that Nepal has changed too....a lot more rapidly in the last 10/15yrs than the US has. And it is only changing in the coming years towards more western life style..for better or worse.

I would say keep above in mind.
