I lived in boulder for few days in 99 and visited a year ago. saw a drastic change.. too many Nepali now.. boulder is a nice place , really liberal white ppl, but too many freaking nosy Nepalis... I found 3 kind of Nepalis in boulder: a) DV winners- who don't know what the hell they're doing here. b) Nepricorns: they wanna show they are successful but the only people they can brag about thier success is Nepali people so they invite you over to lots of Nepali parties and what the heck but to show off c) Students: hard workers, most working illegally to buy that new car and trying hard to fit into the nepricorn party crowd...Going to cheap schools like Regis or Columbia , CU boulder is too expensive ..... Not trying to generalize but just being honest on what i saw.. it was sad how everyone was trying to open restaurant (Nepali) or handicraft shops ... WE Nepali need to expand our horizon.. go out and meet other races and other people.. be friendly and yes yes yes, keep out heritage and culture alive too.. but .. i don't know.. i doon't think boulder is as great as Rekha says... Oregon is pretty nice... Seattle is nice as well.. lot bigger than boulder and not many nosy Nepali... Things have really changes with all these new DV winners and too many freaking Nosy people in major U.S cities..hate nosy ppl..... sorry, nothing personal please... take care Dyamn
