Bought a pair of flip-flops for Rs 250 at a shop on the way to Asan Tole. It was fun to see Facebook logo printed on the insole. This rubber one is made in Nepal and felt so comfortable after being broken for a while.
Social media like facebook have kept going viral in Nepal as the other countries. It is common everywhere to see the smartphone users immersed in smartphones. Heard that the penetration and coverage of mobile phone in Nepal have increased rapidly.
Many cyber cafes and telephone booths with ISD and STD written on their signboards were spotted along the streets at Thamel area in Kathmandu 14 years ago. This time I was confused as I was not able to find them when I wanted to make a call to Korea and looked for them at Thamel. But it didn't take long before I realized what happened there. That is why mobile phones have come into wide use in Nepal. ISD referring to International Subscriber Dialing and STD Subscriber Trunk Dialing were lost in the mists of time.
It is also the same situation in Korea in that the public telephone booths almost disappeared. For few people who have not got mobile phones like Jaeho, living in Nepal and Korea became inconvenient.
