“Nepal is crawling with Western freaks - maybe as high a capita as NYC or SF.”
I used to pass out imodium to the hippies in the Nepal airport departure lounge who didn’t have enough sense to not eat food bought from street vendors.
Then you’ve seen the ones so burned out on drugs that, even if they could scrape airfare, they’d never be able to cope again in the West. A pity, really; much like the demented fakirs roaming about.
