Kathmandu or Nepal in general has always been the same. it had its issues before we left for US, and it still has issues - some got worsened over time, some got solved, and some new ones came up. but the fact is, it hasn't changed much. it's we who have changed. we've been spoiled by all these luxury and amenities US provides and when we go back after getting used to this luxurious life, what we have in Nepal feels worse than ever. I felt the same during my last visit but i was used to it in 3-4 days and spent more than two months with ease; in fact i was really happy to be home. My opinion is that we feel like Nepal is getting worse in every aspect because we are used superfluous comfort we get here which we can't find when we go home. Nepal or Kathmandu is not going to change overnight to make itself comfortable for us because it hasn't changed much in the past few decades and i don't think it'll change anytime soon;  it's we who need to change and learn to re-cope with the environment we were brought up in. Blaming Nepal for not meeting our current expectations is not the solution.
