Man, that sucks. When you say cash, you mean dollars then? Or are you saying everyone just deals with Rupees so they don't get in trouble?
There's a city here in Ohio that has a large Bhutanese-Nepali population, families who spent years in refugee camps in Nepal after Bhutan pushed them out. I don't know any of them where I'm at now, but remembering their story, seeing your pictures and description and reflecting...it's so tragic how much a beautiful people in such a beautiful part of the world have to put up with, just trying to live a normal life.
The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas is definitely on my short list now...
Every uses Rupees, but there is very little paying with card. Cash is King in Katmandu, but the money is still shit.
I guess those migrants are Tibetan. In the 50s and 60s, huge numbers fled Tibet and went to Nepal. Some relatives are still there, but many moved on to other places.
Nepalese Buddhists (and all Nepalis, really) are humble, honest, har-working, and welcoming.
I think we’re talking about two different groups at this point. The ones I knew were Lhotshampa, ethnic Nepalis (mostly Hindu, not Buddhist) who got pushed out of Bhutan in the 90s, spent about twenty years in UN camps in Nepal before being resettled in Ohio. As I understand, the Tibetan exile story is its own heartbreak though. Either way, everything you say concerning Nepalis being humble and welcoming seems to track with both groups.
lol, insane

I had to shut the fug up about Bitcoin in Nepal because it's illegal there.
Everyone deals in cash (even though Rupees are trash), and the third biggest economic sector is remittances. They need Bitcoin!
