[@pushpagurung7739]

Welcome Nepal Ken💐💐💐💐💐

[@raazhada4367]

when you in Kathmandu valley you must try Newari cuisine because Newari people are the historical inhabitants of from Kathmandu valley

[@pushpagurung7739]

Did you try momo????!!

[@starfire6604]

In the part where you bought the topi(hat) and you asked for a translation, they were discussing how to put the topi properly on you as you can see the peak is tucked a bit inside at 29:53 before putting it on :). They were discussing whether to make tuck it before you wore it or after. They were also thoughtful because they showed you a range of topis according to price range and not just the expensive ones. They put the flower as ritualistically when someone does "pooja" then they put tika on forehead and flower on topi as a blessing. So basically the person blessed you :)

[@KenAbroad]

Guys, I am having severe food poisoning at the moment, the most horrible experience as a traveler so far for me. Not sure when the next video will come out, I have a few more filmed already, but need to see when I am fit enough to upload etc.

[@AuntyJack123]

Oh dear that's awful for you. I think it's very common there.

[@roshniguptarauniyar]

Some Nepali words which may come handy for you, Ken: Namaste: Hello Sanchae hunu huncha? : how are you? Sanchae or ramro: I'm fine Kati ho? : how much? (before buying) Kati bhayo?: how much?(after buying) Paisa: Money (though paisa means coin people will understand) Mitho: Tasty Paani: water Khana: food Ramaelo: Fun Sundar: Beautiful Maya: love Ramro: Good Kata?: Where? Dai: Older guy than you Bhai: Younger guy to you Didi: Older girl than you Bahini: Younger girl to you I hope it helps. Love from Nepal ❤🇳🇵

[@yvonnetresidder9171]

The kids where you tried the sweet biscuits, they were adorable. So friendly and didn’t want anything from you.

[@Nepalplayscricket]

Here in Nepal only Indians are beggars…You won’t see a Nepali kid begging for food in road.

[@giannishen]

Watched a lot of channels, you are the first one to open Momos for audiences! This difference alone is commendable, the difference will make you stand out! With the help of many people, it's so funny that your hat ends up a little askew still, haha! Thank you for sharing your day in Nepal, happy travel! 👍🤩🙏

[@hikaru__24]

Take care of yourself Ken, I hope you recover soon from the food poisioning. And thank you for visiting our country Nepal

[@swarnimtamang4514]

28:15 Show one nice topi ( hat ) 29:25 Show him affordable and cheap ones too, maybe he is afraid that these are too expensive. 29:50 Help him wear it and I’ll arrange it for him 29:54 first let’s see if it fits him or not 30:28 He says it’s small, show him a little bigger one 30:47 it’s a bit small, he needs a bigger one 30:55 ( old lady ) let me help you son, this is how you should wear it, but this is bit small for him 31:15 even this is small Other lady : no no it’s fine that is how it should be worn. 31:34 it’s good 31:38 Arrange it properly so that he can wear it other times 32:7 What’s the price ? 32:13 (girl) Why is it called Dhaka Topi ? 32:17 Because it’s made out of Dhaka ( cloth / material ) 32:34 tell him the cloth is Dhaka (Girl) yes that’s what I told him. 32:45 what’s the price ? (Lady ) it’s 500, already told him 32:58 Mummy return him 500. 33:53 I don’t know how to use a camera 34:16 he thinks these are meant to be drink, tell him it’s not ( lady with the banana ) let him eat this banana, do you want to eat this ? Get well soon Ken. South Asian culture is very different from that of East Asia. All the best exploring it !

[@Victorybj]

Its better to say NEPALI CULTURE rather then south Asian culture

[@ShyGun]

@swarnimtamang4514 hi, would you kindly check 31:23. Whats the meaning the lady saying"cho-chok..cho-chok" before the priest say ramro or good. thank you

[@swarnimtamang4514]

​@@ShyGun She meant "it's pointed". chucho means pointed. She was referring to the tip of the hat and saying that it is pointed.

[@abhishekbishwakarma2713]

Make yourself in Nepal as a home.. You will feel very relaxed even it is a busy country.. Explore more and have fun.. And make sure to ask some nice locals what are the normal and local price, it will be very helpful for you. I am expecting more exciting and interesting videos from you. THANK YOU❤ for visiting our country. Lots of love ❤

[@duvidl]

What a nice video, Ken! I especially love it when you interact with the locals. The hat looks great!

[@CelticMickWalks]

I'm going to Nepal in September for a month and can't wait 🇮🇪🇳🇵

[@drex5160]

Pro tips from the Indian subcontinent: 1)drink only bottled water (sealed not open jugs etc.) 2)avoid liquid sauces as much as possible unless it has been boiled & fresh. 3)sniff rice & potatoes to see if they've gone bad, especially during the summer.

[@mypc5513]

32:40 Actually you were right, Ken. The cloth that is use to make the Dhaka Topi is from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Previously the cloth was brought from Dhaka and the topi is made in Nepal itself. But now we know how to make the cloth as well so both the cloth and the topi is made in Nepal. This is the reason why our ancestors called it "Dhaka Topi".

[@kalpanashrestha1275]

I was born in Nepal but moved to Australia at d age of 19, now 34 and I get food poisioning every time I m in Nepal. Best advice is take medicine as soon as u get sick.

[@DJRickValeOfficial]

32:12 I like the girl asking the old man first before telling you what the meaning of wearing their traditional hat ❤

[@globomanni8407]

Topi is a type of taqiyah cap that is worn in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and other regions of South Asia. Many different types of topi caps include the Sindhi cap, worn in Sindh and the crochet topi that is often worn at Muslim prayer services. The Taqiyah (Arabic: طاقية, also known as tagiyah or araqchin (Persian: عرقچین) is a short, rounded skullcap. It is often worn for cultural or religious purposes. (excerpt from Wikipedia)

[@poonamgurung2149]

27:10 name of father come from the citizen ship of Nepal where you need to have name and citizenship of your father. This tradition might have been copied to sim card too. But yeah as a foreigner it might be awakward for you but for us its absolutly normal. I know its hilarious😂

[@301250]

Ken, guten abend. That reddish motichoor ko laddu is made from besan (garbanzo flour), flavoured with cardamom,topped with almond slivers. Yummy. The Nepalese are lovely folks and this kingdom is known for producing the Gurkha soldiers who justly earned the sobriquet “the ultimate fighting machine” attested by their loyalty, bravery & fearlessness in battle! The enemies would shiver in their pants when they see the deadly kukris of these formidable soldiers! The Nepalese workers in Malaysia are the best of the many foreigners working here.

[@jagatkhadka197]

Willkommen in Nepal und viel Spaß hier, Kumpel 🇳🇵🇳🇵

[@creatingmemoriesforever]

Dude, don't always rely on the google review. Grab a local(s) and check the places and foods! You seems to sneak into whatever you sees on your way and eat it from the unreliable Google review!! And please learn to say NO or SORRY to whom who ask money for nothing!!! And only TIP to those who really deserve it!! Enjoy your stay in Nepal though, subscriber from Hong Kong.

[@meiwong1044]

Thanks Ken❤ to bring my eyes to seen other countries and cultures that I never have chance to travel those countries🙏🏻 I can’t wait to seeing more videos from you 😊

[@missionhimalayatrek]

Thank you visiting our country . It's happiest country after bhutan. And very safe place for travel . Tourism is our biggest industry .

[@raytheaim73]

The more you visit local areas the you'll feel connected in Nepal❤️

[@bhimprasadparajuli4531]

Do not forget to visit Birth Place of Lord Gautam Buddha . Limbini is located in western part of nepal and its approx 300 km away from kathmandu by road, and you can travel by air And reach approx in 30 minutes kathmandu to bhairahawa.

[@DJRickValeOfficial]

15:00 why there's no KZbin Music in that place??

[@tamsarisararana165]

You look amazing with Dhaka topi-Nepali Cap. Dhaka is a type of fabric that is made in Nepal. Great to see you in Nepal. I have been following you since you started your vlogs from Thailand.

[@bikasbaniya123]

I recommend to you most visit places .. 1.- pokhara city tour -mt. Mardi treking. -fewa lake -World peace pagoda - Lord shiva pumdi. 3. Parbat bunjee ( if you dont have acrophobia ?) 4 mt everest basecamp. 5 manang and mustang trek. Many more you missed to visit Nepal. Anyway i mosz like your vlog have a good time...take care thank you.

[@stlaw08]

Often the "beef" in Malaysia is imported Indian buffalo, unless Brazilian or expensive Australian. So Beef rendang or Ramly Burger is actually Indian buffalo.

[@chaw294]

Wow, what a great start to your Nepal adventures. It's indeed an interesting and impressive tour of Kathmandu town. As always, you are ever ready to try new food in each and every country you travelled to. Yeah, first start with that yummy lassi, buffalo momos, milk tea, and some snacks. Haha...you are too tall for that snack shop...your head is almost touching the ceiling 😂 That Garden of Dreams looks beautiful...lots of squirrels roaming around 😅 Quite surprised to know that father's name is needed when getting a SIM card. A very nice looking Nepali topi. You look like a local now, what more with that red pottu on your forehead 😄 Great to see your interactions with the locals there...very friendly and welcoming. Shout-out to that kind uncle and young girl (with tie) for their help. Another amazing video with amazing content. Thank you very much for sharing, Ken.

[@michaelcallahan6391]

Hope you enjoy Nepal! It is one of my favorite countries. If you want to go trekking try the Langtang Valley Trek. Everyone eats Dal Baht in Nepal…which is one of my favorites. Awesome video!

[@claudiab.5267]

Gute Besserung Ken. Ich hoffe, es geht dir bald wieder besser🌻.

[@SanzeevDahal]

There are various food options based on different parts of the country. You can get everything in Kathmandu, Try these Buff Choela - Kathmandu Local Newari Dish. ( Better try all Newari Dishes) Pork Sekuwa - From the Eastern part of Nepal Thukpa - From Himalayans regions Thakali Thali Set (its Daal Bhat) - From the western part but common all over Nepal Millet Dhido - From the North Part of Nepal

[@simmo3730]

Hi Ken, I am one of your subscribers. Once you recovered, I advise you to visit Swayambhu, Buddhist temple. I also advise you to go to Patan to try Newari food. You might like to visit Pokhara later.

Welcome to Nepal brother. Hope you have a wonderful journey exploring Nepal. I suggest you to visit Pokhara and Sauraha as well during your stay in Nepal. Also, if you love doing adventures like Bunjee, Sky cycling, Zip line, you can visit Kushma as well. While you are in Kathmandu, don't forget to visit Bauddhanath Stupa and taste "Laphing" there. Also visit Bhaktapur Durbar Square and try "Juju Dhau" ( special curd made by Newari community).

[@trk259]

When buying the topi (hat), they were arguing about who would help you put it on. The women said they didn’t know how to wear/adjust and they asked the older man to help with it. He said that she should put it on for you and he would help to adjust.. lol

[@trk259]

Also, you didn’t really have to give money to the older man.. lol

Just a friendly advice for you : Make sure you say i dont need guide or make yourself clear that you are not interested in spending money ….because afterwards its difficult to say NO….💐💐

[@Alex_Gaming55]

These people defined Dhaka topi may be wrong , this not only cap and this is our nationality Dhaka topi ! You wearing this Topi every Nepalese people respect you and think you respect our culture . This Dhaka topi made up from dhaka clothe but this is our nationality . When pay for old man , it we can every people bcz this old man blessed you ! This old man is priest this caused you pay for that nepali Tika on your forehead ! You don't upset our country man we every nepalese people have kind of heart and always helping others ! I hope you can enjoy our country 🇳🇵 Thanku for visit my country ❤️🇳🇵

I would love for you to try Tharu food its from the native community of Terai region also please do explore Terai Chitwan is great and quite famous Wildlife . You can showcase the luxury hotels which people dont often relate with wildlife . and also thank you for visiting Nepal .

[@peaceful_chaos14]

Hope you have a great time in Nepal Ken, and get well soon. That old grandpa was trying to be helpful but he clearly wanted money from you. I think most Nepalese people are not like that and they help you without wanting anything in return, but you’ll start to recognize them after a few conversations like that. Take care.

17:30 Laddu is very famous and very delicious in India. After Nepal, do you plan to go down to India, which is very close? The food there is even more delicious and the people are more interesting in my opinion. I prefer the South of India, which is totally different from the north, but the north of India has some similarities to Nepal.

It's a legal responsibility to document three generations of names for official activities. Strange, but it has some importance in that context.

[@lexya2160]

@@gobindadawadi677 Wow! I guess that's a deterrent to commit any illegal activities! Recently HK requires you to upload your ID for pay as you go sims for the same reasons I guess, so that is understandable.

[@gobindadawadi677]

@Lexi- more precisely, this is to prevent misidentification as there are many people of same names. But with the names of previous two generations, that chance becomes very slim. This subsequently discourages illegal activities. In the modern days, this needs to be updated though as there are so many ways to identify the right person.

Love it when the old boy put the red heart-shaped pottu on your forehead, Ken, much to everyone’s merriment. Ya, ya, a German joke is no laughing matter but your videos are filled with mirth & laughter! The elderly woman offering you a banana is sending you a subliminal message that this fruit is also a phallic symbol, perhaps also wanting to say that if only it is as large as a Thuringer rostbratwurst!

We Nepalese treats tourists as a god and i like to give a small suggestion for all of you who wants to visit nepal . 1. Nepal has extremely beautiful nature and great hospitality but Kathmandu city losts its beauty because of unmanaged development 2. People just visit Kathmandu and pokhara and don't travel to other parts of the country while the real beauty lies in those places. 3. If you find any one force you to buy him something just avoid them if not kick their ass and move on. 4. Nepal is totally safe so if you are comfortable do more research and solo travel. If not find the cheapest guide .
