New rules: NO Hongkong

Last time I talked about the Nepal trip, I was optimistic but then again I faced some unexpected problems. Hongkong, where people from certain countries can stay without a visa for upto 90 days, requires a transit visa for Nepalese. Hongkong, where there are over 50,000 Nepalese as lawful residents requires a transit visa for Nepalese. Hongkong, a place florished by free trade requires a transit visa... Ironic, isn't it? but what bugs me most isn't their policy regarding Nepal and Nepalese, rather it is the silence from Nepalese media, politicians and everyone else. Whoever I talk to rather blames the Nepalese people than questioning the motive of the Hongkong govt. Hopefully someone does.. At least ask why?? The next step would be to reciprocate the gesture.
