First of all, would like to say that this is a good use of sajha.. something that affects most of us here in US and sharing each others experience... Thanks Balbhadra for taking this time to share your experience... My experience at OC was nasty too. tht was the first time i went there to work and i came back with a promise tht i wont go again... i had some fun time too.. but believe me it was like hell!!! As for tips, Balbhadara covered most of it.. but still would say, do your best.. and stay out of trouble.. three cases of nepalese in OC last year was pretty bad.. hope we wont get to hear anything like that this year.... GOOD LUCK to OC Goers....
