hamra tira:

bhannele sabai kuro bhani sake si sunne "bhanna khojya ke?" bhanera ufrinchha.

only in nepal do people same word twice to emphasize more, for example

eat eat (khau khau)
no no (nai nai)
yes yes (huncha huncha)
small small (sano sano)
big big (thulo thulo)
up up (mathi mathi) and many more. I have actually heard some nepali speak english this way and it sounds hilarious. Any experience guys?

Only in nepal do the teachers tell everyone's marks (grade) infront of the whole class.

only in america do we spend our time posting our thoughts on kurakani because we would rather be doing this than what we have to do/should be doing

Here are my two favorites:

1. Only in Nepal: you shake your head left-to-right-to-left to say OK.

(My teacher used to say: dui tola ko jibro le bolna nasakera, dui dharni ko tauko hallaunchha.)

2. Only in Amrika: students TAKE a test and teacher GIVES test.

Haamro Nepal maa ta: bidhyarthee le jaanch dinchha, Guru le jaanch dinchha.
(In Nepal: students GIVE a test and teacher TAKES test.)

:)

Oops!

that was:

Haamro Nepal maa ta: bidhyarthee le jaanch dinchha, Guru le jaanch linchha.
(In Nepal: students GIVE test and teacher TAKES test.)

Only in Nepal does "a school" always mean highschool...not a college or university

In Nepal:
Rich people are overweight.
Poor are thin.

In America:
Rich people are thin.
Poor are fat yet malnourished.

Strange world!

A man is walking hand-in-hand or hands around the other man's shoulder/arm:
In Nepal - they are close friends.
In Amrika - they are gay lovers.

only in america, when a baseball player slaps his team mate in the ass, its called team sport, but when a normal guy slaps a another guy in the ass, he's known as gay :P mtv commercial :)

only in america, a little kid plays in R rated movie, sud he be allowed to watch it ?? :)

"Duita nepalese jhandai got killed in Alaska by bears"
"How?"
"They were told not to go into the woods as Tyaha bhalu painchha !"

Kaloketa- the same two nepalese returned Nepal and went to Pashupatinath to pray as they survived the Alaskan Bear, on the way there, at Gausal Chowk they heard two Bengali saying " Bhandar Khal Bhalo Acche"
Soon they heard it they both forgot the Pashupatinath and started running towards Bhandar Khal jungle thinking there is no Bear this time.

Some people never learn, do they?

Only in Nepal do most kids get excited and watch Goats, Chicken, Ducks, Buffalo being slaughtered during Dashain. They know its offering for GOD and being done for a good reason, so they learn to accept it. Moreover, they get good lunch and dinner out of it for days.

I don't think I can watch such thing ever again in my life.
