Khaobadi, Not all of US is like that. There are good people here as well who respect people of different nationalities. If that was not the case than you and I would not be here. You are not doing justice by labeling all of US as a typical red neck. Why do you call Nepal a closed society? Why is it closed? It is hostile to foreign social investments, huh?? Please write more about "foreign social investments" which countries are socially investing for social change in Nepal and how it is hostile towards those investments! >Receptive to foreign luxury Which country/society doesn't? What does Nepal produce that can be consumed as luxury? Nepali in general, are open to other ideas. You can go back to history and find how different faiths lived together, how people of different social values and systems accepted each other.
