People always ask me whrere I'm from. Some might even say are you from Korea? China? Thailand? I'm very fair so automatically they think I'm some sort of Oriental Asian. My older brother is little darker then I am and he's tall and big and always wears Hawaiian shirt so people automatically think he's Hawaiian or Somoan. On the other hand my mom has the same skin tone as my brother but she has short hair and flat nose so people assume she is Native American or Hispanic. My fiance is about medium dark tone skin and has beard and mustache and has more of an indian look so people assume he's Muslim.

What I'm trying to say is Nepal is not as famous as other Asian countries like Indian, Thailand, Chine, Japan, Korea. People are curious and there is nothing to be mad about. I live in Boulder and surprisingly most of the people I talked to knows about Nepal and about our culture, tradition, and religion. I guess there are diverse group of people here and so many Nepalese. Everytime I say I'm from Nepal people say "On I know this guy/girl from Nepal who works at blah blah blah." Another thing I get a lot if I don't have accents like other people and I speak perfect English. I tell them I have been here since I was 11 and have been living in Boulder for 14 years.

Nepal has so many people that look different from one another, some people have Indian looks and some have Orinental. We're all mixed so people get confused, not a big deal.
