NOT A DIFFERENT WORLD

Published On: May 5, 2018 09:52 AM NPT By: Asun Bajracharya

The first day when I landed in Australia, I did not feel it to be much different than Nepal. There were people from different countries and I met so many Nepalis out here, and I felt acquainted with so many familiar faces around me. Before coming here, I used to think that when in a foreign land, if you see people from your home country, it would feel homely and also that it would be kind of obligatory to talk to them. But, within a week, I realized that no one even has the time to smile at each other here. If I think about it though, even in Nepal, we do not smile at strangers. So, the whole situation is quite normal.
