This is definitely the Nepal trip no
doubt about it! I went alone as usual and did a leap of faith over Pokhara. Nepal
is a poor country and we all know people in poor countries don’t place hygiene
as a top priority(heck even Malaysians don’t place hygiene highly!). The roads
there are bad, the cities are busy, dusty and dirty. You see litter and dog poo
even at temples and the locals also like to spit – even at UNESCO Heritage
Sites. And don’t let me mention the public washroom... I think even India is a
lot better.
All the above doesn’t mean I hate
Nepal. I’m just stating my observation and letting you know that it was there
that really had me out of my comfort zone.
