I found this thread intersting as people are sharing their ideas but I dont understand why people always try to ruin the thread and again bring the same topic again n again like sajhako hero...everywhere i see he/she is bringing coffee and tea thing, pure english and not thing, thats simply pathetic...If you want to comment do comment but with the relevant ideas not the same annoying thing again and again sir/mam plz.


As far the life here concern it depends on two things what kind of life you had back in Nepal and what are you doing here. But if we talk about majority of the people, I think more than 90 % ( including me) USA taught us many thing, may we dint achieve everything we wanted, may we dint find USA as we thought it would be but definetely we learned alot which we dint learn in Nepal, from how to live alone without any help of other people, how to cook, how to deal with other people, different cultures, people from different parts of the world, better english, better way to talk, broad knowledge about everything and so many other things. The reason we found USA is not upto our expectation may be because we expected too much, we thought alot which we shouldnt.


You guys tell me honestly how many of you guys used to cook back at home, had worked in any places, or helped your parents do the things, paid your bills or helped parents financially ??? I know the reason as I have the same answer so as most of you.


I am happy to be here and I am loving life here. I have gone through the same thing as most of the Nepali people do go through after coming in their early stages, that doesnt mean I am through, I still in between and have long way to go. It just been 3 years I am here and I have finished my degree, got H1 and now working for some company. I will say I got lucky also but I have worked in the store for 60 hours a week in my school days, I never took off even for my exams, not even a single day and 80-90 hours in summer without a day off whole summer to pay my tutions fees and never went back home till now that doesnt mean I dont love my family or I dont want to go back. I love my family the most as do all. Regardless of what I have been doing, I always loved my life here, because people respect you as long as you work regardless of level you work. How you guys thing you will get better jobs if you are stranger here, dont have any valid documents, dont have enough skills needed, dint get degree from here because the degree we have back in nepal is all ghokante bidhya more than practical knowledge but I am not saying we have less knowledge than the people from here just I am saying is we are not exposed to real world. I have been lucky in the sense I had good friends from the beginning we came together and I came to know nice people around me always who helped me when I had gone through bad times and have crisis both financially and mentally.


Another thing you can afford to get all those facilities here with any kind of job which is hard to get back in Nepal with the descent amount of money. This is the time of our life to learn something, to achieve something better for our future, for your family and for your country. I know its natural to get fraustrated but try to be happy with what you have and what you achieved, that doesnt mean you should stop doing progress, always go for it


Saying all this thing doesnt mean Nepal is not great, I love my country the most and still now I believe I will return some day and contribute something which I can from my side, I never liked working under others and have dream of creating jobs for others.
