Thanks to ExpressVPN for supporting my channel, check ‘em out at www.expressvpn.com/xiaomanyc and find out how you can get 3 months of ExpressVPN free! Sonam really wants me to go to Nepal, should I try to climb Mount Everest???

[@GamingWithRajat]

yes you should!

[@orlyanguiano1657]

Yes 🙌🏻

[@Crimsonacer92]

Go to the nearest dump and climb it. That's how bad it is now.

[@kevinjones5560]

Quite the compliment when he said when I heard you, I thought you were Nepali. People say the same thing about your Mandarin

[@sonurajbhandari3347]

For us as Nepali if you speak Nepali you are Nepali. Two big civilisations Chinese / magnolia & Indo Aryan settle here. So until you are British white we think you are Nepali if you speak Nepali. And also when we see white people we think they are British. So not to offend anyone we usually ask which country they came from. Otherwise people assume all white are British. Nepal & Britain has more than 200 years old history as allies.

[@mlrd2687]

@@sonurajbhandari3347 The Serbs and the British were allies for a much longer time, so after that Britain bombed Serbia twice in the space of 60 years. The British are allies of anyone who is against China and Russia. Now they are pushing their Ukrainian allies into the clutches of death. Powerful states achieve their interests through small states at the cost of destroying their allies. You don't need enemies beside such friends.

[@ninarose3823]

The subtitles aren't super accurate (especially with Xiaoma's bad grammar 😅), I would have translated it "you seemed like a Nepali person" rather than him actually thinking he was Nepali. But yes Nepali people are generally so kind and excited towards people learning their language!

[@TomasRoggero]

The SINCERITY with which he says "nah, don't climb Everest, you'll die" -- man we all know he is so darn right!! Ari don't you dare. Xiaoma unites the entire world speaking languages.

The smile on the shopkeeper's face made it all worthwhile. Giving someone a moment of joy and making them feel seen by learning about their language and culture is so rewarding. Thanks for keeping the feel good videos coming Ari. Best wishes to you and your family.

[@jakefromstatefarm8010]

Xiao, you really give people a lot of hope for the future. I was telling my grandmother about you learning Native American languages last night and she was so impressed because of the complicated structures of the code-talkers whom she’s been into recently. Keep up the great videos!

[@GhastlyCretin]

Don't climb Everest, man. It's been done thousands of times and it's turning the mountain into a garbage dump and graveyard. Check out some of the videos about this here on KZbin. It's not worth risking your life for. I'm sure you could go to Nepal and experience the mountains without doing Everest.

[@fuzz668]

Right. Lots of safer mountains. 😊

if being a diplomat means getting into political debates, stay out of it. Instead, just visit casually and enjoy the food.

Perhaps becoming a Tourism and Cultural ambassador could encourage more Americans to travel abroad and learn about different places. I believe that is a major issue in America currently.

[@ZartanDread]

@@davidstufflebean3285 There are a lot of reasons Americans do not travel outside of the US. The first and most obvious one is the cost. The second is America is a massive country with a lot more to see and do then you can imagine so most Americans prefer to travel their own country. Many have no interest in traveling its their business.

[@AaronMetallion]

Nepali people are some of the sweetest people I've ever met. And not to mention, almost all of them speak Hindi (India's national language). I'm Indian, and the locals told me they're self-taught in Hindi, because they love Indian movies & songs. I'm Indian, but Nepal has a big place in my heart... the mountains, the calmness, the people, the food, and raksi bina ma marchu 😉🇳🇵❤ JAI NEPAL Also, because both of us say NAMASTE, in Sanskrit it literally translates to "I bow to you", but what it means is: "The divine in me, bows to the divine in you". It's recognizing the same soul and divinity in the person or animal you're greeting.

[@thelifewithnate]

That's awesome! Have you ever visited Nepal before? I've always wanted to go but never had the opportunity to do so.

[@justins8304]

I agree with everything that you have said except Hindi is not India’s national language

We eat spicy food. Fireball Chilli 100k - 350k Shu we eat that chilli. So our spicy level can be seriously harmful for some westerners.
