Blog on cultural idiosyncrasies (Nepali)

As someone interested in cultural idiosyncrasies , I have been a big fan of books like Holy Cow and Ciao America. Finally I have found a blog that's just seemed tailor made for me (a Nepali in United States). “Musings from an American-Nepali Household” is a blog of an American woman, who understands Nepali cultures, and eloquently writes on those idiosyncrasies. Highly recommended!
