I think this is Lalitpur durbar square. Just wanted to comment how those kids reminded me of our school pics. Haha. The dress were so similar and everyone was goofy.
No, please. We have enough problems of our own.

How many UNESCO world heritage sites can you fit in one city? We managed to visit 4 during a day trip around Kathmandu, which means another 3 left for next time. But do you know which country has the most world heritage sites at 61 out of a total of 1223?

In most cases, it's blind leading the blind where only rote learners succeed.
In countries like Nepal, mathematics is taught as something to rote, without explaination, logic, or practical demonstration. So, it's no wonder it's considered a burden rather than an exercise to understand and quantify the world around us.

I do not know if it's real or not, but Reddit has exploded with fake posts in the last year with the AI boom. I'm not sure if mods/admins are using fake scenarios with old accounts to create engagement from users who don't know any better. Was it a new account? It just seems overtly low effort.

When I went to live in Nepal thirty years ago, I interviewed people from a cross-section of its large, diverse Left - members of parliament, editors of magazines, student activists, a trade union organiser - about how they saw the Nepalese political situation and how they saw their political goals.
Today I met Dipak Tuladhar, who started a pre-school for Newar children in Kathmandu in 2003. After meeting with success, he has developed schools in other towns, and has been working with local leaders across Nepal to expand the concept to allow more kids to learn in their mother tongue.

No, it's too fucking easy to buy our politicians. Our politicians have never aligned with Nepal's interest. @pmo-nepal.bsky.social will lick boots for little change. He'll even be a good little pet and follow India's orders when he returns to Nepal. He'll still bark how he's so so patriotic though.

As children, we used to play in the fields till late nights chasing around fireflies near where we lived. I haven't seen any fireflies for years and years. Everywhere is just houses now.

More like someone is getting big commission under the table. Are they going to manipulate the algorithm to promote Nepal? Didn't the government ban tiktok last year? Now they're collaborating? The fuck? Something is not adding up.
Honorable? This bitch has been found to have trafficked people for money because of her political reach and corrupt husband. She's free and became a foreign minister for the same reason. Nepotism. Our politicians and bureaucrats are anything but honorable. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutane...

Those shapes remind me of when we make momos with my nephews. They get crazy ideas for the wrap. : )
Did adult/kid community ed cooking class with my son. we made Nepalese momos. pretty damn good.
The Kathmandu Post kathmandupost.com/national/202... The tradition of only sons performing kriyā funeral rites is changing, especially in Kathmandu and among educated urban families. Daughters are stepping in when no son is present or by choice, promoting gender equality. Not so in rural areas.
In Nepal, women and girls with disabilities are systematically blocked from seeking justice, unable to access courtrooms, communicate effectively, or be recognized as full legal persons. Justice must be accessible to all women and girls with disabilities. bit.ly/4fFZ4fQ
They aren't known for good hygiene, quite the opposite. Who's going to clean up the mess they left behind?
We shouldn't just "tap" into something because it makes money. Mt. Everest is full of shit because the gov tapped the market without any responsibility to clean it. Now, it's considered unclean. We don't have basic services like accessible clean toilets, garbage collection & clean water.

On our recent visit to Paropakar Maternity & Women’s Hospital – a busy public hospital in Kathmandu where over 200 babies are born each day – we delivered 50 baby clothing sets to new mothers, including three sets of twins in the C-section ward.
The EV boom in Nepal painted as a massive success story is infuriating - safe, reliable public transit options are still largely absent, and the policy environment is still very vague about electrifying public transport. Also, can we first have electricity for 24 hours a day? Please 🙏

It's either dependency on India or China, our corrupt politicians don't care about the people other than the ways to make money for themselves. People be damned, they'll sell out to the highest bidder.
The Kathmandu Post kathmandupost.com/national/202... If cooperation is mutually beneficial, farmer-focused, and sustainable, it can be a win for Nepal. But if it’s structured to benefit mainly large corporations or create dependency on China it could harm small-scale farmers and the local economy.
Do I know anyone here who can speak Nepali? Would like to practice/gather resources for a Big Trip next year
