It’s my favorite country in Asia for all those reasons. The Himalayas are sublime, Kathmandu is extremely exciting, and the Nepalis are absolutely wonderful people.

I mean probably more about brand partnerships, toys for girls make bank.

I have a literal example of this.

I have a relative who’s lived in the Village since the 70s, and apparently the posh $200 a night “micro-hotel” with open ceilings capped with a lattice of Japanese wood used to be a 75-cent flophouse for heroin addicts with chicken wire over the top of the cells.

Right exactly. Back in the early 2000s I tried to explain to my dad why people my age look at the 1980s as the nostalgic “good times” and he thought I was absolutely crazy.

Because he was thinking of politics and economic issues while our generation just remembers media.
