Nepal 08





^This is what they call 'Miss room'
It's not even a room and it's not for goats/chickens but its for women.
In their culture, when women get their period, they have to crawl into that pathetic shelter at night just because to them, women are 'dirty' when they are menstruating and are not allowed to step into the house.
When night falls, the temperature change is so drastic, some people die from hypothermia.
Imagine in a home, whereby there are your mothers, aunties and daughters, and all of them got it at the same time.
These are built by the women, and I don't get it, most of the time, the 'man' of the house is away in India (probably Mumbai) getting it on with some AIDS infested prostitute. & in a household, or rather in a village, majority are women, so who's to say they can't stay in the house. But then I learnt later that the women voluntary goes into the hut in fear they would offend the gods.
I'm not kidding about the AIDS issue. The 'man' of the house goes away to India to supposedly earn a better living, but most of them come back with AIDS, passing it on their wives and infecting their kids.
Only after the man dies from AIDS, the wive and children will then find out that they've or have not been already infected.


She wasn't begging, she was just saying hello
