harke, i was only in boulder for about 4-5 days. it was alright, but there were too many deadbeat hippies there. i enjoyed eating at himalayas restaurant a few times and spending time with my friend, of course. at one point, i was in a store in that main shopping plaza and i heard two little kids speaking nepali! i was so surprised- thinking "where am i?!?!" i hadn't realized how many nepalis were living in such a small town.... chatmandude, i've heard that too....and yeah, parts of nj are the armpit, but not the whole state. within nj, we also say newark is the armpit of nj!
