Itýs true, everybody has their own opinion. I truly respect it and they have full rights to express in whatever way they can. Utilizing the same rights, with no ill feelings to any party involved, Iým writing the following response:

Only in America do people a short sleeves shirt outside longsleeves and sideways baseball hat
- donýt know about sideways baseball hat, but once in a while I do wear short sleeves outside long sleeves. Its all about how u prefer to fashion up urself.

in america we can find two toilets in one house, in nepal we can find one toilet for two houses
- financially we cannot afford to build two toilets and just to remind u some houses may not have one to use it either. They will go to river and jungle to dump their waste. Wat so funny about it?

you eat Daal Bhat Tarkari three times a day, 365 days a year
- becoz thatýs our main meal. Wat do u expect, pizza, burger???

in america we can find 3 sinks in one house, in nepal we can find one water tap for three families
- in my home town people even donýt have water tap at their house. Natural dhunge dharama janu parcha. Its so pity that people want to make jokes about it.

only in nepal do people same word twice to emphasize more
because thatýs how our vocabulary developed when we were young. Donýt expect to hear, ý thatýs awesome dudeý back home. Unless u happen to be urself.

tauko dukhe ni Cetamol, Pet duke pani cetamol, Ghau bhaye pani cetamol, Jiu haat dukhe pani cetamol. exactly. that's the reason I am allergic to cetamol
- dude if u keep on taking cetamol for every reason, then u definetly will be allergic to cetamol.

Only in Nepal, you have to be really cautious when walking alongside a beautiful girl during holi to avoid all those lolas which will come every two houses
- Iým sure u r one of the culprit too.

only in Nepal do people never use an Answering Machine
- coz answering machine is not common in Nepal like here. Get some brain.

only in Nepal do we call Glass, Geelass Film, Feelem Time, Tam Park, Parak Form, Faram
- again, its just becoz thatýs how we grew up pronouncing those words. Try saying this
word, ýrouteý. Got the idea.

only in nepal.....do people not eat beef but wear leather accessories
- dude, do u think all the leather products are made out of cow skin??

only in nepal.....do dogs live on a diet of rice and lentils
- wat do u expect? Why donýt u go back and open a pet shop. I have a dog back home and he eats whatever is cooked in that particular day. Where is the joke here?

eating Pizza at bakery cafe is better than homemade gourmet food
- everybody cant afford to eat at bakery like u

Only in Nepal....do people think all 'Khaires" are Americans.
- Iým sure u thought the same way too before coming here.

Only in nepal are people willing to ride on the roof of a speeding bus in the hills
- public transportation is not that good and people has to travel to their destination no matter what. Wat do u expect?? Donýt make fun of passenger riding on the roof of the bus. They are not trying to be funny, just wanna reach to their place.

only in Nepal, you see people using their umbrellas during sunny days.
- well, Michael Jackson might have the wrong weather report while carrying umbrella, then?

only in nepal do people put their hand up their butt for cleaning themselves, but won't even put their mouth on a bottle of water that their friends have used.
- majority of people in Nepal still uses water to clean themselves istead of toilet paper. First, all people cant afford toilet paper and the toilet arenýt build up in that way too. Just get a life and try not to be khaire.

only in nepal will a man walk in front of his porter carrying a super heavy desk with a naamlo and not notice that THE DESK HAS WHEELS!!!!
- Are u sure the desk is not too large and heavy. If ur couch has a wheel, then do u push it all the way when u move to different apartment??

You may be a Nepali if:
You ask before eating any meat "Is this beef?".
- people may ask becoz all nepali in America donýt eat beef, dumb
Your stove top in your apartment is covered with aluminum foil.
- mine is becoz its lot easy to clean up that way
Your dinner involves spreading newspaper on the living room floor.
- becoz simply all cannot afford to get dinner table. And Iýve used it myself too. Wat so funny about it.
You know all the $1.50 theaters in your city.
- I know the theater cheaper than $1.50. and have gone to watch movie myself few times.
You smell like a curry.
- the solution is simple, go get some fast food dude, if u donýt wanna smell like curry
There are more that 4 guys living in a 2 bedroom apartment.
- wats wrong with that. Donýt tell me u live in a mansion by urself.
You've bookmarked immigration web pages in your browser.
- I had bookmarked travel.state.gov. tyring to make fun of nepali in any way.
You have been to Mexico or Canada for multiple entry F1 or H1 Visa.
- where is the joke here. Iýve myself been to mexico to get the visa so that I wont need to go to embassy back home. This is too much dude.

Hehehe funny especially the nepali boys and girls. Keep more coming folks.
- now tell me, only in America, nepali find funny and hilarious when they r talking about themselves, their parents, brother, sister and the mother country as a whole. I aint trying to be patriotic nor Iým the true son of mother Nepal. Iým one of those nepali who thinks twice before answering when Iým gonna return to Nepal for good. But reading this thread, it just made me feel uncomfortable and couldnýt keep myself from writing. Peace out to all the brothers and sisters.

going with the whole freedom of expression thing (I must say that in any forum freedom of expression has to be taken for granted wiz baba otherwise the forum wud be pointless),

I must point out that you missed a rather big chunk of nostalgia present in almost all the posts. At least from my part, my intention was never to belittle Nepal and her people, rather
I was just reminiscing all that happened in my childhood and after and stating the truth as it is. I also see the same in other posts. If unintentionally I have hurt anybody's feelings, I sincerely apologise. Don't you ever wonder what's behind that mask?

wiz baba: like passin thru, my intention was never- or will never be- to ridicule nepal. if that is the way you interpreted my postings, i do apologize for that. i wasn't making fun of nepal, its culture, or the lifestyle of the nepali people. it is only out of a deep love and admiration for these things that they were posted. i do find some of the differences between america and nepal interesting and potentially funny, as i think most of the people who have posted in this thread do. i don't really consider my posts "jokes," just observations that are amusing. and as passin trhu said, there is a deep nostalgia that was at the heart of these posts. again, i apologize if this thread angered you.

Hey Web Wiz, think outside the box and think big. No one here is trying to make fun of our culture, we are merely throwing things we see in Nepal.
Timro mann nai kalo cha, ani j pani kalo kalo dekchou !!! Try taking things with safa mann and you will be delighted some one started this thread. peace.
In the mean time, bedrock, palpali, swati, JB and all others, keep adding to the list.

Only in Nepal,
can you bargain up to 80 % on an item.
Prime minister spend more time attending Opening Ceremony Ribbon cutting Gosthi and Seminar than the real work.

politicians offer garland to the martyrs on Fagun 7 but give a damm rest of the year.

Hey, Sajhaitis' we should behead MAHA jodi and kick their head rolling in streets of Kathmandu. the reason
cuz they make fun of nepal by this
"HOW ONE CAN DETERMINE WHO IS NEPALI AND WHO IS NOT?"
THE ONE WHO HAVE GASTRIC THEY ARE NEPALI AND WHO DON'T THEY AREN'T.
We cannot take humor as humor. All the above posting has shown how Incompetant goverment we have. we are not provided with basic needs. Goverment is corrupt. Thats what we are doing here by expressing our frustration in a humorous way.
It is done everywhere in world. Didn't we see how Bush is lambasted in media.
Dear wizbaba u are talking like those Republican who will accuse their fellow american a "Traitor" if they don't share their values.
We don't have to go far there was this Vietnamese guy who won "LAST COMIC STANDING" last year. He said this
japan have conquered usa by their auto and technology
china have conquered usa by their chinese food
now its vietnamese ppls turn but how we gonna do it ( a silence for a moment)
than he says we gonna do it by fixing american ppls nails.
isn;t that funny or it was disrespect to his community.
thats all i have to say
with love n peace

Alright, I am back. What was all that fuss about? People who have problem with this thread should just stay out of it. I'd just ignore them rather than trying to explain what this means to most of us. This is one of the reasons I have frequented Sajha since last month or so. Being away from home (i still call nepal my home) for a really long time, things like these brings back sweet memories, humor and nostalgia. You know these are the things that money can't buy, simply put just "Priceless". This is no Nepal bashing at all.

Only in Nepal do young boys in the urban areas are embarassed to put on their National Costume.
Only in Nepal do they have same vocabulary for milk and breasts (what do you call chicken breast in Nepali- kukhura dudh?)

kukura-dudh?!?! outrageous!

yeah, you know bedrock, i am american and I still think of nepal as my home too.

and swaati, the photo you posted of the child at the window is probably allowed to go to school. in fact, he probably is at school and just waiting for his lazy-ass teacher to stop gaaf garnu-ing in the office and go to class!

meera, it's so true about your "good name"! thanks for the laugh.

this isn't funny, so much as observational:
in america, white is the color at weddings; in nepal, it is the color at funerals
