Nepal - Cottage Industries

In this day and age, Nepal can surely boast. Many of her cottage industries include carpet and wicker weaving. Owning land is a thing of the past. Many Nepalese own small businesses like jewelry and metal crafts, wood-working, to name a few. Cottage industries are renowned for it local production and merchandising of local fabrics and ready made clothing. Internet entrepreneurship is on the rise to include bloggers and You-Tubers. Some are authors of both fiction and non-fiction. I wanted to mention that jewelry making is another skill the Nepalese people are proud of. Another talent is that of metal crafting and wood-working. I will be remiss if I don't mention trekking, travel and mountaineering. Since agriculture is limited to little pieces of land on the hillsides, tea is a major upcoming industry. Nepal produces, packs and ships tea (world wide) from its tea plantations You will hardly see a local without a cell phone or a watch:

Nepal - Flights to Kathmandu

Now that I'm back from my 23-day visit to NYC, I'm already thinking of going somewhere else - not too far; perhaps Miami?

I am still browsing for a decent fare. Flight prices are quite reasonable and compatible on this site:

Unwinding

I've been back in Indianapolis for nearly two weeks. Believe it or not, I'm still decompressing - I was in between Long Island City and New York City for over three weeks. I came back having experienced a lot. These included new experiences as well as some challenges. I learned a lot about the routines and activities of daily living, watching street vendors, baby sitters (in Park Square), pet walkers, riding trains, and the public in general. You can work out a budget but I tended to overspend; all the foods were tempting, and I often got thirsty. So visiting cafes, ordering fruit smoothies was something I could not resist.
