Having guests over

If there is one thing I don't envy for Nepalis living in the US is the number of guests they have to host every year. Guests expect the hosts to leave everything in their day to day lives to cater to their every need starting from the time they step out of the airport.

If the guest is coming directly from Nepal then the expectation is increased exponentially starting from sharing their every whim to finding them a job. They assume you don't have a life and can drop everything you are doing to invite them into your personal sanctum. Most of the time you have never met them before or even heard of them. They know your uncle or they are your fathers friends relatives.

If the same thing happened the other way around. Let's say you are visiting Kathmandu and ask someone if you can stay at their house for a few days then I am not sure if you would get the same welcome.
