Confused-yeah my addiction to Sajha, especially this thread is still on. I see fresh and new waves of thought are pouring in. I was going low on ideas for a while.

(This one I heard it on Sienfield)
Only in America people read the labels "Dryclean Only" on their newly bought garments and strictly follow it, however, ignore the label on Cigarettes and Alchohol.

Only in Nepal, everything is handwashed, their solution for "Dryclean Only" is by letting it dry under sunlight.

How many of you have seen a foreigner wearing stonewashed pants or shirt for not knowing how to apply bleach during laundry? I have seen quite a few.

i'm with you- i can't get enough of this thread either. i was thinking it was slowing down earlier this week, but i'm glad to see the energy flowing again.

only in america do we say things like "drop me an email" or "drop me a phone call"

Only in america, if nepali talks to nepali, they can't speak nepali! it has to be english!

Both in US n Nepal....We are Nepalese....

Only in Nepal, do we have two different kinds of soap, "Nu Hau Ne Saboon," and "Luga Dhune Sabun.'

only in nepal we have two main ways of cooking:

Bhuteko/tareko or Jhol pareko

others are

sandeko, usineko, poleko (no baking involved)

hey bedrock, i forgot to add this earlier- in nepal, drycleaning doesn't only consist of putting the clothes out in the sun, it can also consist of beating the crap out of them on a big rock

PG, true that. I used to love going to bed during winter time and snuggle under the sun baked blanket. It used to have a very distinct appealing odor (hey, this goes to Sense of Smell thread also).

Only in America, during construction projects "Safety First"
Only in Nepal, "Safety??? What is Dat???"

Only in Nepal, construction projects cares about ASAP (as soon as possible)

LOL bedrock..haha that was funny..

but let me add somemore spice to it, :)


Only in America, construction projects care about finishing their job ASAP (as soon as possible) or on time..

Only in Nepal, construction projects never care abt finishing their job A.S.A.P. (as soon as possible) rather is influenced by B.P.N.T.T Philosophy...










B.P.N.T.T ( barshau pachi ni tehi ko tehi)

Only in american one nepali try to teach another nepali to speak good english. the first nepali has thick accent and bad english but he no care and still try to tech.

Only in Nepal do you say "Batch" to "Reserve."

I used to remember getting in arguments with other students for a seat in the school bu.
"Mai lai Batch Gareko Seat ho, Yo."

Only in America if you marry at the age of 80, you're in love, in nepal, marrying at age of 80? only in nepal even before you're 80, they would carry you outside your house, coz you're gonna die soon!
