Descovering the Nepal's culture

Are you hungry? Would you like to eat a juicy steak with rice and fries and a sweet fruit salad with a huge wanilla's ice cream ball as a dessert? If you want so, I think you should pass on our Nepal's travel a little bit. A typical Nepalese meal is dal-bhat-tarkari, a spicy lentil soup (dal), served over a boiled rice (bhat) with curried vegetables (tarkari). They also use to serve dishes with alcoholic and non-alcoholic bavarages, with a plenty of spices, like cumim, curiander, black peppers, and so on. Does it sound good? No???? I believe the word you are looking for is "blah", right? But what were you expecting for? Mac Donald's? Come on!
The music, in other hand, sounds very nice. I've heard that they usually play percussion instruments, such as flutes. If you like rock and roll, or mettalic sounds, remember that we are in place where the Hinduism is the most important religion, so they like to meditate and guess the meaning of life. So, take a deep breath, and let's go on!
Nepallis like to dress themselves with a very colorful clothes (maybe it's an indian inheritance...), and they also like to dance a lot! As their way, of course, so also don't expect a techno ballad! Don't forget you are far away from your home town.
One interesting thing is that the houses located in the rural lowland are made of tight bamboo framework and walls of mud and cown-dung mix. It's like this because the house can stay cool in summer and retain warmth in winter! As they are buit in a higher land, the construction changes to stone mansory and slate may be used on roofs, because as higher we stay, colder it will be.
