Answer 1

I'm not from Nepal but I have a friend who does.

1. They eat meat, bread and rice. Some of their food is like the food in India. They use lots of spices.

2. From what he told me, their house is made of cement w/ a

      tin roof. But most poor people live in a mud house. He sez

      it's like an igloo?

3. They have arrange marriages over there. The parents of the boy and girl arranges the kids marriages while they were still babies or little children. Hey, my friend married the girl that his parents pick for him when he was still a baby.

    I hope somebody can give you better answer than this. Good luck!!

Answer 3

I don't live in Nepal, but I was there for a month last summer, and this is what I saw:

There are rice paddies everywhere in the higlands, so obviously that is a major source of food. When you walk through the markets, there is a lot of fruit, chicken, pork, and vegetables being sold, also many spices. There is every kind of range of food from very traditional to the same brands of snacks you'd find in a convenience store in North America.

2. Many of the houses in Kathmandu are made of brick/cement with tin and bamboo roofs. Often there are large bricks on top of the roof to hold it down. In the villages, many of the houses were made of dirt, clay, or cement. One house I was in looked made entirely of mud, the floor, the stairs, and the walls, and there were piles of hay/grass (I'm not sure what it technically was) that the woman used to make rugs out of to sell.

3. Nepal is an incredibly beautiful country, and I was disappointed to see how much Western culture has been washed over it. Every second person you meet asks if you or someone you know if a celebrity. Nepal is entwined in it's Buddhist and Hindu religions, with many incredible temples to see. Almost everywhere you go you can barter for goods you want to buy, it's very cheap. The people are the most accepting and friendly I've met in my life, they always invite you into their home and serve you the traditional Nepali milk tea, which is very good. It was sad to see that many people on the street were influenced by drugs....even at very young ages. I saw a group of around 10 year old boys standing around sniffing glue, and a woman asking us to buy milk for her child, which was sold for drug money. The high mountain peaks are often shrouded with clouds, but the lush green mountains around Kathmandu are always visible, and an incredible sight. Nepal is definately a country worth visiting!! I hope this gives you some idea of everyday life there...
