After living in any developed country for more than 10 years, I must say that one is not much immune to any sort of diseases Nepal harbors. Be it biological, or socio-cultural! Obvious ones are: dirty roads, you don't get to shower everyday, people are not as nice as when you first left etc,.. Your family won't listen to you when it really comes to implementing your revolutionary ideas/values. You can't make anyone change in this country. They are not innocent. They are dumb as Fcck, but they know how to show off to someone(precisely to a victim). If you have to ride a bike in Ktm, pajero/prado/mitshubishi and many other expensive cars have every rights to crush your head, and unfortunately if you are still alive, the drivers would come to you and smack your face for damaging there vehicles. There is no value of an individual in this country. If one day you were found dying in the middle of a road, no would care for you in this country. There are more than 200 big hospitals alone in Kathmandu, but to arrive to anyone of them in an ambulance would take you more than 2 hours. This is the problem of everything being centralized in Kathmandu! Just walk for a mile distance, you will see at least 5 schools with fancy English names. And the kids going to these schools can be found blowing off artistic white bright fume. And if you get to sit in your balcony with your parents, you will get the sense of social changes that has been brought to this country with the grossness of all kinds of maa-, muu-, chaa-, chii-, words. So, If you have a good job, are in good academic status or make a good living in the US, please don't ever come to Nepal to settle forever. It is nice to come and visit family once in a year or two, but living in Nepal forever is something not to fancy about...
