Nepalese in the other States are more subtle and well organized with their local Nepalese communities. IF not by meeting often, they tried to keep in touch with thier frined and other Nepalese by phones. However, Nepalse in California and the Bay area are just the opposite. In the first place, it is hard to recognize Nepalese in the Bay area by face. They either look like Chinese or Maxican or Indian. Just look at our faces, no body can guess if you are from Nepal. Even if I meet them by chance, they avoid further conversation for ever. It's not like I am new here in the bay area and needed their help. It is just about keeping our community together-- by exchenging a few good talks. I guess, its time to get back with Nepalese. We could be help to each other. Well, if you guys live in the bay area, just reply to this message. We need to be with our people as much as we are with others. What do you say? GS
