This I might add is just some musings over my time here in Kathmandu, Nepal. Merely observations from a somewhat amazed and at times dazed Malaysian trying her level best to survive in a jostling city where people & animals alike co-exist...
So here now, are some things I have learnt so far...(the list may expand as time goes by..so bear with me)
1. Learn the language FAST...(There is nothing worse than looking like a Nepali and not
speaking it)
speaking it)
2. Learn to drink Tea-even if you don't like it! (It's a staple anywhere, anytime)
3. When going to a party, find out two things: (this applies to the ladies...)
a) Will there be seroius booze involved
b) Will there be girls
Trust me, you dont want to be the only female in a party of Drunken Masters....
4. No matter what kind of restaurant you're in, everyone scans the menu and ALWAYS ends up
ordering the famous"MOMOS"
5. When visiting a new born baby, ALWAYS have Rs101.00 to offer to the babe...
6. When visiting anyone, always finish your food..(it's shows you appreciate the cooking)
7. When shopping, ALWAYS bring a Nepali friend with you...(they will help with the bargaining)
8. Strikes ,Bandhs or fuel shortage...are a VALID form of excuse for not coming to work!!
