It's s bit different story with me and many more friends that I've seen, who are happily married. This is a advise to the coming generation of Nepali students. If you fall in love with an American and want to marry her/him, please show her/him everything about your culture. Don't bother to show the good one, he/she will figure out eventually. Show only the bad ones like Corroption, selfishness,politics, history, religion (a must), culture, poverty and CASTE (a must) and all the bad things you know are bad in our country. If he/she doesn't get scared and don't mind with it, then you're pretty much set to go. If not, then leave right away.I've been married 5+ year and no problem at all. She respects and have learnt a lot about Nepal and Nepali, good ones and BAD ones too. She cooks Nepali food too incase you were curious. She converted to our religion without my pressure, her free will and I've never entered a church (in case you're scared like many other ignorants). An architect in US will not fall in love with a cave woman, just incompatible in every definations. In a free society, you get who you are. If you meet someone in the bar, then don't expect too much from here. You shouldn't be thinking about marrying her in the first place and should not be there in the bar at all to pick up chicks to marry. Love and using him/her is two different thing. Just beacause we're Nepali doesn't make us better than the rest of the world. If you're a crap, then your choices will be crap too. The're are many many open minded and good character American student in your college. The only thing is finding the right one at the right place, not in a bar or a stip club. Please don't expect her/him to cook for you everyday, stay home and rub your feet either. This is not Nepal.It also depends on how open you're to other people's culture and what are the practicality of your realtionship. If you're one of those stubborn bastard who thinks that we're better than the rest of the world, then conflict will arise no matter who you're with. My 2 cents advise.
