The Beggar’s Pass – OHS 312

April 27, 2023

An interesting thing has started to unfold in Kathmandu, Nepal. I had a similar experience in Tibet. However, I am starting to use this "trick" more and more in Nepal. This most recent visit had this gestured interaction truly take hold for me. I call it the "Beggar's Pass." It is a one handed thing and worthy of a podcast.

Thanks for listening! I invite you to share this podcast, offer a comment or leave some feedback.

Show Notes:

So much of this gestured interaction is the result of the cultural perception of one handedness in Nepal.
This has released me out of the attention of many a beggar while walking around Kathmandu.
It's "The Beggar's Pass."
