Dear Gurungni, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I read the thread, and I actually answered to you quite rudely. Well, I'm from France. I should've written it down earlier, it would've made things easier. I just put this posting because i was concerned about the safety of Nepal, especially Kathmandu (since i'll spent the whole time there). I saw some documentaries on TV about the maoists, and I thought I would inquire about Kathmandu's safety. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. Again, I wrote that I was quite white because I don't look like a Nepali at all, and I just wanted to know if this would create any problems (then I might dye my hair before getting to Nepal...). Maybe white people are treated very well in Nepal, but I can assure you that it's not the case in some other places (for example, some French Carrabbean islands). I wrote that I was "very European" because newuser asked me a wierd question... I dont know what to say... I dont understand why many people got so mad... sitara, I dont understand your sarcasms. Why are you so mad at me? did I affend you in any way by the fact that I'm a white European who's gonna stay only in Kathmandu? why "dear European Sire"? Why the condescending tone? And if you have to write to me, I'm a girl, so find another nice title for me. I hope that I won't fall on a lot of people like you in Nepal... You're definetely not a good representative of your country... this is quite sad... Thank you VERY much to the other ones. Thanks to the ones who gave helpful answers. Jhamjham Pareli, I'm going to Nepal in August. Thanks you though.
