Nepal gets deadly plane crashes at least once a year. Impressive for a country the size of New York.
Not surprised they seem to be very miserable country judging from usually whitewashed Wikipedia. Overpopulated, no economy, people working as slaves in foreign countries
Did they still have post-Misc Pot trauma?
>Did they still have post-Misc Pot trauma?
no. you are not going to meet and interact with anyone who can remember those times as the people of that age are not going to be speaking english. everyone you deal with as a tourist is younger than 40 so can't remember or didn't live through it. so it might have well not have happened.
you will possibly meet a lot of orphans though but it might not come up in conversation
Good that they got over it. It had to be a real nightmare
I don't know if they "got over it" the country is a very poor crazy fucked up shithole even compared to its SEA neighbors, the Thais seem like the Swiss when compared to Cambodians. The collective IQ dropped 10 points and nobody under 40 remembers their grandparents. That can't be normal.
>fucked up shithole
In what ways?
>nobody under 40 remembers their grandparents
how is that possible?
all their grandparents got murdered by commies before they were born
I'm in Siem Riep now. A bunch of western hipsters trying to find themselves while drinking beers and cappuccino.
Cambodians are kind, too much touts following me for a taxi, massage or to sell useless stuff.
It's very warm and has a lazy vibe.
Any SighSeeners around? I Will be here for quite some time.
>lazy vibe.
Seconding this
Very mellow compared to places like Vietnam and Thailand
>What people are like?
Cambodians seemed very polite and somewhat meek, at least on the surface. Some professional scammers and touts but the latter don't get too pushy. People who expect to come into contact with tourists speak surprisingly good English - language knowledge is probably considered the golden ticket to fat stacks of USD bills. No concept of food hygiene or keeping your surroundings clean but that's common in the region.
>How does they live?
A few filthy rich people and the rest is poor as shit. If you take a detour outside of the city centers in PP/Siem Reap you'll find some serious poverty. Villages too, of course.
Pajeet janny, this chud is having sexual thoughts. Range ban him immediately.
For Nepal? No. It's hard. For india? Yes. It's easy. Maybe in 10 years Nepal will be easy.
Anyone here that wants to hangout?No weird neo hippies of course. And if your a sexpest that's ok but promise to not be too creepy or cringy.
I'm so bored here and here for a long time
These are very different counties.
Nepal has the high, middle and lower Himalayas belt and the three regions may as well be different countries. Lowland nepal is really nice with broad sweeping grasslands and rice paddies. It's a cliche but India minus the filth, overpopulation and Hinduism.
Middle nepal is a collection of station towns which are only accessible through a single road, many and in a chain. The center is usually taken over by tourism, i could never really work out what anyone does for a living in these places.
The high Tibetan areas are very remote, sparsely or only seasonally populated, often dominated by ethnic minorities.
The Nepalese people are friendly, not especially outgoing, generous, but quick to take offense and apt to seek status.
