We can see Tibetan people in Nepal because Nepal is next to Tibet. They are neighbors. They are Mongoloid, so they look like Japanese people. Tibetans have their own culture which is different to Nepalese culture. Tibetan women wear Tibetan clothes and their accessories are also different. Tibetan silver jewellery is famous and popular as a good souvenir for tourists. Their religion is Buddhism, not Hindu. Their food is also different. I prefer Tibetan dishes to Nepalese dishes. The tibetan diet is East Asian style and includes Japanese style. I tried a Tibetan set meal in a Tibetan restaurant. There are several Tibetan restaurants there. The meal included stir- fried vegetables, rice, and soup with dumplings.
We could choose a vegetarian meal or non-vegetarian meal. It was very hot, and a little bit greasy for me, but I enjoyed it.
They also have their local alcohol made from millet. It is called 'tomba' and it looks very strange.
You get millet grains in your cup and you should pour hot water on them and wait 5 min. Then you can drink it with a straw. It tastes a little sweet and a little sour. It is not strong alcohol. I liked tomba very much in Nepal. It was very cold weather at that time, and tomba was a hot drink. It made me feel warm.
