Bostongirl, U can see from my thread tht I m not trying to generalise each and every guys who reside abroad, nor m I tryin to validate my own opinion either. Thanks for giving urs! Flip_flop, I felt good when u dropped few words of urs. I, too, wonder why....???? Rhythm, u've a point gal!! he he he... Mansion, I m not here to get personal, so please I expect the same from u too. Its a public forum, If I were u, I wouldn't try to bash anyone just b'coz I din't like the topic they started! Thanks... Camoflaged, like ur analysis!! Khao dai, I wasn't talkin about the American-born..sssssssss Nice thought Loote, but why that disclaimer :P :P IMI, we wouldnt claim that we are flawless, not do we expect one of u to be the same; coz no one is! If one's better in one, he/she lags in the other for sure! Thats wht we claim.. yeah and I wasnt intending this thread to go sexist. Just like sidster did, I was just expecting few of ur opinions!! ...bas Kunai satya ghatana sanga mel khayema ( jo dherai ko sanga bhayo hola ) samyog matrai hunecha!! he hehe NEPALESE IN TEXAS (DALLAS) , SEE U IN THE CONVENTION PLAZA ON THE 1ST OF OCTOBER FOR DASHAIN CELEBRATION.
