On the west coast we have American Indians, on the east coast, Indians from India are very successful with their budinessss of owning tobacco, liquor, coffee, pharmacies and other stores. All my “legal drugs” I bought from Indian shops. !!! The liquor store owner was one of the coolest people I’ve met in my life! He was Indian.

How’s the food? Do you guys eat beef. I know it borders India so may be making assumptions in that your cultures are very similar? But I’ve never had Nepali food. I love Indian food though.
