Barron’s magazine assistant managing editor Phil Roosevelt is traveling this week in Nepal with his daughter, Meg, who is a junior in college and an expert guide to the country.
Phil was kind enough to send back some souvenirs as he surveyed the tech landscape.
While in Kathmandu, he encountered one Internet cafe dubbed “Immortal Internet.”
The Nepalese really love gadgets, he observes, and there’s even a district specializing in selling smartphones and other gizmos, as you see in other cities around the world.
Phil’s overall assessment of the state of tech is that “Nepal is trying hard” to be more technologized, “but it does have a long way to go.”
