thanks for sharing the link.

"The only thing you will have in USA is a house, a car, a bank balance, 
No family (not even your children after 18) and friends around when you need them. They will be around only for party."

Couldnt agree more on your above sentence. Life is very materialistic here and friends are pretty much there for parties only and once they have something going on in their lives, they feel like untouchables!

I would tell you to go back. With having own house to live and a couple of others for rentals, you should be okay. Use the rental propertys money as emergency money. Water is no problem inn Kathmandu if you can spend 500-1000, you will have your own underground water system. Electricity is no problem wither, spend about 3000 in solar energy and you will have the luxury to watch TV, use laptops even when there is no electricity.Life goes on buddy, as it has for many of our relatives back home.

Dont forget to network with people who have returned from abroad.There are a few groups on facebook as well. Dont forget to save some money when you return back since you will need funds for the rainy days as well as for initial survival. Make sure you have enough money to buy a motorbike in Neppal and for other necessities to last for about a year.

Life will definitely be hard to adjust but the happiness will neutralize the physical sorrow.
