To add to what Lootekuker has said, nepalese seem to talk about Nepal always. This what it was in Nepal, this is how it is done in Nepal, this is what it is said in Nepal, Nepal Nepal Nepal blah blah blah. I have been to gatherings of people from other countries and they don't seem to talk about their country as much as we do. We are obsessed about Nepal, and yet we leave that country at the heart beat. Most of the nepalese gatherings I have been to have ended in a disaster. I have come to conclusion that nepalese people cannot deal with differences in opinion in a civic manner. They resort to name calling, and most of the times into arguments and occasionally into fights. I have met people who have discussed about caste system and think that it makes sense that someone by birth can be superior to someone else and that too after being in US for more than a decade. And then there are these people who are older and think that their opinions and suggestions have more validity than the ones from younger ones. It is just ridiculous. And one thing that keeps me amazed is the curiosity of nepalese to meet other nepalese no matter where they go. We see threads like "Any nepalese in CA, NY blah blah blah?" And once they meet and hang around they get back to usual stuffs like arguing, fighting, jealousy, bad mouthing. Looks like Nepalese seek for trouble and thrive on it.
