the 2nd episode is so fun and emotional :'). if they ever come back to Nepal and I meet them, I will definitely greet the Korean Sherpa and cartoonist, Kian first!
I hope you get the chance to reconnect with your roots =) Could you explain what you mean by castes and labours…
there are different castes in Nepal that represents a certain group and such. Sherpa,tamang, rai, bahun, chettri etc are castes that go behind the name of the person(for eg. tamang and rai seem to have the same first name. every castes are so it's nabin rai/nabin tamang. it did feel weird for Kian to call them tamang and rai lol. well according to Google, Sherpa has been used as a generic term to describe the group of Nepal with Tibetan origin.even though it's a very seperate caste from other castes. but I still think these people who work there are referred as Sherpas by foreigners at least. there are 142 castes in Nepal. it is easy to mix up lol
the 1st episode is really good! I enjoyed it a lot!! I am a person of the Himalayas as well but never been there since my grandparents and my aunts, uncle and dad moved to the city. so I never got to do these hard work that others and my family have done. it's fortunate for me but I do feel disconnected from my actual blood. though, I am just 15 so, I hope I have tons of time to actually explore everything for authenticity.loved the relationship of Kian and tamang and rai! fun fact: Sherpa, tamang and rai are actually castes but I guess people have started to call everyone who does these Labours Sherpa.
