1. Get in touch with Nepali seniors at your school/work and ask for suggestions when in doubt. Most likely, they've been through that situation and their experience might come handy to you.

2. But be aware, I've seen folks giving wrong advice to juniors. There are people who had hard time getting past situation "X" and want you to have the same bad (or even worse) experience. Stay away from those selfish SOBs.

3. NEVER lend your hard earned/saved money to anyone, especially to a Nepali. You're lucky if you get even a fraction of it back.

4. If you're a student, buy used books - 1-2 edition older books will save you tons and won't make difference in your grades. Or, download pdfs - not legal though.

5. च्याप्यो भन्दैमा रुख/पर्खाल देख्ने बित्तिकै तुर्क्याउने काम चाँही नगर्नु, रंगेहात पक्रेला नि!
