Many of us when we come from Nepal experience cultural shock. What was yours??
One of the biggest schocks to me was when students in class sat with their shoes facing the teacher. I thought that was totally disrespectful. I would also get surprized when total strangers greeted me.

Which reminds me of the food they throw away at the restaurants after closing. I was thinking of all the starving people around the world.

When I land in LA airport and saw really huge( Fat-Tall) people. When I heard some of my class mates and co-workers were single mom and some of them have no idea who was the father so they were collecting money( child support) from several man for one child.

When my classmate got shock becasue I was still a virgin. I have more which I will post later.

-- some of them have no idea who was the father so they were collecting money

I think that's very funny but kinda unfortunate for the kid.

Maile Gali ta pakkai gareko nee. But they say it is what they want, some of them even say they want to have baby from the rich guy so they can collect more money for their child. Believe me Maile gali gareko ho and I told them that it is very bad for their child and some of them were a child of single mom so I guess they saw waht tehir mom did and they are doing the same thing.

Very sad, bad and unfortunate. US is very rich country but at the same time very poor becaue it lacks a lots of value of the life.

Ha ha ha.. Jerry Springer was certainly the hottest show back then. Specially on MTV spring break.

Dallireshamji curse pahile gareko ho suru suru ma matra.. Ahile tyesto kehi pani chaina. Ahile ta office politics lai chup chap sahera basnu parcha. Ani malai jee nabhanus na hai.. Kasaile jee bhanyo bhani laaj lagcha ... Baru bhai bhannu bhaye huncha nee..
