someone once said- when in Rome, do as the Romans do--and you know what, it is true! we were kind enough to let all you 'bokas' elsewhere drool over the pictures of some of our beautiful jewels- and you guys were obviously interested enough to go over all the pictures before starting the whine parade. I am so glad they dressed up the way they did--there is nothing wrong with looking good. all I have to say to those who complain about it--you wish you had one of them! our girls here are probably some of the most beautiful, independent, and might I add highly educated of all nepalese--last thing they need is some freak idling his/her time in front of a PC all day telling them what they are supposed to wear AND FINALLY, YOU WISH YOU HAD ONE OF THEM! go find yourself a gunyu choli wearin, with tori ko tell splattered hair, unshaved armpit/legs and unshowered in a month, callused hands and feet, but as truly Nepalese as they come in your books and live happily ever after. we will keep our girls you keep yours!
