when I was in chitwan,
everytime I said Thankyou to the helpers in one hotel, they're like 'swagatam'
and I was like 'what the heck??'

just because, in English, there is 'You're welcome' as receptive response
doesn't mean there has to be on in Nepalese like 'swagatam'
and believe me,  I almost puked.. it felt so awkward..
