Gurungni, you had written "Hi! do you mind telling me telling me your countries name? May be i can help you if you tell me. " Just in this sentence you stated that your help is in function of the country lost represents. He/she just asked for simple answers, and I do not see where you have been helpful by giving suggestions. And don't you think saying something in your language when you know someone doesn't understand it, is rude? And yes Sitarar, "Color does matter." A non-nepali can be just an indian, but an indian might be able to avoid unnecessary harassment by passing as a nepali whereas a white person cannot. And if they are black tourists, then the nepalese stare at them like they have never seen drak people, very often passing rude comments about their looks. My point here is, while I do not want any tourists to get discouraged to visit nepal and meet nepalis, I do want them to be aware that nepal and nepalis can pose certain difficulties in their trip. So just be prepared. It is far better to be surprised plesantly than unplesantly.
