Soo true man i came to US when i was 11 and obviously i have been more affected by american culture than Nepali. I am not saying i am more american or anything trust me i love my country, but the things going on there right now and the way our culture works is just really old fashioned for me. We live in the 21st century, but why is our culture in like the middle ages. Its been the same damn thing all these years, i see no changes at all. I mean the caste (dont really know how to spell it) system is still alive in nepal. I admit its not as bad as in India but damn talk about equal opportunites. How many of you ever see Sarki ( i think not really sure) being treated as well as Chetri or Bhauns?? When is this ever going to change in nepal?? And the freaking expectations oh man. In nepal there are two jobs people think is the most successful. One is a doctor and the other engineer. Guess what my parents want me to be, yes, a doctor. But thats not me i dont want to be a doctor. Once you live here half your life and see soo many opportunites it is pretty much impossible to agree with your parents. It would just be soo much easier if they would just understand and well until then lie, lie, and lie some more i guess. Damn pretty long just wrote what i thought. peace
