Society CLASH: NEPAL V AMERICA
Okay, so I've had a couple questions about social contrasts amongst Nepal and America. Thoroughly reasonable. I'm not exactly beyond any doubt in the event that I'll have the capacity to address all of them, however I'll give it a shot.
Time
Like I've said in my past posts, the Nepali begin their day early. Individuals are out on the town by 5 (at any rate by my best estimation). This implies they likewise end their days truly early. When it's dull out, the vast majority stay inside since there are no road lights. Shops have a tendency to have pretty much standard Western opening times, however may stay open somewhat past the customary 5 o'clock shutting. They're additionally more casual about being "on time" than Americans, yet that doesn't mean they'll show up hours late.
Sustenance
Generally, Nepali eat dal bhat (a lentil and rice dish, at times joined by vegetables) twice every day. Doesn't seem like excessively? All things considered, they eat a pile of rice every time, so it keeps their stomach full. There are additionally a couple snacks that they'll chomp on amidst the day. My most loved is momo. Momo resemble dumplings; you can get veggie, chicken, or buff (wild ox). They accompany an extraordinary momo sauce for plunging, and can be discovered super shabby in the event that you know where to look. A plate of 10 costs under $1. Gracious! What's more, they normally eat everything with their right hand-no flatware.
Propensities
The one thing I most certainly won't miss when I'm back in the States is the hacking. Here, it's socially worthy to make a sound as if to speak and spit it in the road, out the window, and so on. I get that it's a social contrast, yet the sound disturbs me.
They additionally have a couple of various signals. The one that has been the hardest to get used to is the means by which they specify "yes" with their heads. They don't gesture or shake their heads, however they sort of tilt it side to side. It looks somewhat like they're befuddled, yet clearly they're definitely not. The ministers do it constantly, regardless i'm getting accustomed to it. At whatever point I inquire as to whether they comprehend, they'll tilt their heads, and my brain instantly believes that they don't when they truly do. It's been somewhat of a test to hit the nail on the head.
I think one about the cutest things that the Nepali do is call everybody "sister" and "sibling." It's valuable, simply that. Particularly when they say it in English to us with their inflection. Excessively lovable.
Dress
The Nepali dress conservatively. I was told before I came that I would need to have my knees and shoulders secured at all times while in broad daylight. I initially suspected that was just to be somewhat careful, yet no, that is the thing that individuals do. Most ladies wear garments that are like Indian style- - either a sari, or flowy pants and a tunic. More youthful ladies (read: around my age) will once in a while wear more Western styles, yet cover their shoulders and knees. Men will typically simply wear pants and a shirt, nothing excessively diverse there. Children are all the more everywhere. Once in a while, I'll see a youngster in all the more generally dress, different times they're wearing a shirt with English words on it.
Youngsters
Alright, so working in a shelter and a religious community has indicated me two finishes of the range of how children are dealt with here. At to start with, I was totally stunned by how regularly they were hitting each other at the halfway house, and also the way that the proprietor of the shelter would smack them as well. We attempted to motivate them to stop, and it has died down a tiny bit, however not totally. One of the workplace staff here as of late let us know that it is worthy to smack a child upside their head to motivate them to act something I'll never have the capacity to force myself to do. So this sort of clarifies why the children are hitting each other, yet despite everything it incenses me. The children could either end up being totally fine, or serial executioners. In any case, I don't generally concur with it. Other than the hitting, the children at the halfway house appear to carry on comparatively to those you'd find in America. They can be somewhat noisy and boisterous, however regardless of the possibility that you holler at them, despite everything they'll embrace you whenever you return.
At the cloister, there wasn't as much hitting. Only one who's the most seasoned did a bit toward the starting. I think they act altogether different than those at the halfway house however, on the grounds that it's class time not play time. Now and again they don't focus or don't quiets down, and different times they're splendidly fine. I simply ascribe not taking after directions to the dialect obstruction, and not on the grounds that they couldn't care less what I need to say.
