How things are done in Nepal <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is only one menu per table, no matter how big your party is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mealtimes – morning breakfast, lunch (between 10 and 11am) and evening breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each city you visit will bless you with Tokens of Love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every light bulb requires its own switch. Circuits are not allowed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phrases without substance <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018There\u2019s a chance\u2019<\/em> – used for anything from 0% to 100% chance of something happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It\u2019s been requested\u2019 <\/em>– You may or may not get what you asked for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018They\u2019re on the way\u2019 <\/em>– They could have just set out on a three hour journey or be round the corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It\u2019s possible\u2019 <\/em>– interchangeable with \u2018There\u2019s a chance.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Small things\u2019 <\/em>– Everything is as it should be apart from \u2018small things.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018More minutes\u2019 <\/em>– when you ask if something is 10 minutes away, but it is further. You will never find out how much further\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Not available\u2019 <\/em>– amongst the myriad of items on your single menu, this will be the status of many. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Five minutes\u2019 <\/em>– How long you must wait for something, can be anything up to an hour.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It\u2019s ok\u2019 <\/em>– means it is anything but ok.  \u2018La La La\u2019 can also be used in this situation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
