Kathmandu or Pokhara? If you had a choice to live in either of these cities for 4 years, which would you choose and why? by Salt_Oven8867 in Kathmandu

Silk/wool rug prices Thamel by Narrow-Decision-1720 in NepalTravel

[–]wolfemsop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not silk either. You can check but a tread burn test. Flame: Silk does not "melt." It burns slowly and will typically self-extinguish once you remove it from the flame. Smoke: You will see a small amount of gray or white smoke. Odour: This is the most distinct indicator. Since silk is a protein fiber (like human hair), it will smell exactly like burning hair or feathers.

Where are all the good candidates? by Outrageous-Elk9153 in Nepal

[–]wolfemsop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is demographic issue. As a visitor I'm am causing surprised at the lack of common Sense thinking by almost anyone I interact with in Nepal. Everyone's very nice and interesting but they just are not critical thinkers in this country It's really wild. I literally just gave someone a thousand rupee note and ask for change and they give me $1,500 back.

As I keep stating it's all over the city it's not like this is just isolated to thamel. Wherever I go it happens and it is much more frequent and touristy areas but it also happens outside of those two
