Blog on cultural idiosyncrasies (Nepali)
Posted on February 12, 2010
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!
Lost Treasures of Tibet (Mustang)
Posted on February 10, 2010
Nova’s “Lost Treasures of Tibet” discusses the art restoration project in Mustang, Nepal. The most interesting aspect is the philosophical debate on restoration that is shown at the end of the documentary.
