Hem Raj Kafle, Nepal

Mr. Kafle is a lecturer at Kathmandu University in Nepal. He has written copiously on his experiences at the institute, both academically and personally. His blog site is well covered with insights he gained from his experience at last summer and he has published academic articles after his time spent here.

Mr. Kafle is thinking of writing a memoir of his visit to the USA. He believes many people in Nepal have misconceptions about the USA and he would like to address these. He is also working on a book on Nepali diaspora, which he hopes to send to press in February.

Here is the link to his blogspots.  This article entitled "Two Taxis" is an wonderful account of his arrival in America and another article on why he believes in his country and wishes to stay there, even after seeing opportunities elsewhere.
