didi 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2005 What tols do you want to know about london? There are many nepalese spreaded from scotland in the north to brighton in the south. Most nepali populated areas are ealing broadway,greenwich,plumstead and camedon town, woolwich and lewishham has also nepali people living. Do you want street name ? I will give you. 68990[/snapback] The keyword for me right now is London: It will be interesting to know what Nepali tols there are LONDON with no particular definitions-only whatever people themselves consider tols-whether they talk about their own or some others. How could this discussion be a sort of virtual map for Nepalis who would come to London to find out where to meet other Nepalis-not just for events but to live somewhere where they can call on Nepali neighbours for help? It's not about sticking to your own kind etc-otherwise why be in the UK first place, why not stay in Nepal-but just wondering if certain areas help you tide homesickness and why, or if maybe people are just transferring prejudice about places bad places back home-or what they think are bad, or lable certain people to areas. Example: that Boudha Tamangs are dangerous-don't mess with them. Although that is not true-such comments tell many stories themselves, good or bad. As for street name-well Voltagegal-yours would be interesting but didi is a student too, busy studying. Come holidays maybe a visit might be due.

Quote was from last comment by voltagegal 69000[/snapback] Didi didn't study computing is not my problem. yours.Excuse me, Voltagegal is student too,she has less time like all of you guys.She is also independent and women who has heart for communities like you guys have. I have no problem with copy and paste so lang as I can read and vis-a-vis write. That was good topic anyhow. You said it as a reference to virtual map for nepalese. Good. First thing you needed to know is where is ROYAL NEPALESE EMBASSY in London?After that you will find nepalese affiliated organisation like WNSO and YETI. I knew this site from long ago, only that -"started to post now". Then If you want to make virtual roadmap. aldershot = This area has many nepali people, most from the army background and families. Far from london,so you will not interest it. plumstead= most of the nepalese are living there with many nepali shops, and other asian foods with more asians than british. Mostly, Students are living in this area, other working fellows are also living there. Lewishham= Nepalsese are spreaded everywhere but it is a town so hard to find even studentsliving there. Woolwich= Most of the nepalsese program in london are held over here after ealing broadway and sometime in sentral london. Nepalese are living here but spreaded as it is big area, charlton= there are also some nepalese across the train station like southern lives over there. Greenwich= This is very good area and accessable to every part of london more easily and more tranportation option are there like dockland railway. Majority of students live here but bit expensive. You won't see nepalese walking in the street ,tho, many lives over there. Ealing broadway = Like I said earlier most populated area liike plumstead with nepalese. Programs held here. I have some friends and all the asian shops and to buy saari,kurta etc, and other amenities can be found there. friendly people with places. There is another place near ealing , I forgot the name siice I go there ver less often. camedon town and etc. are less nepalese held area then I have mentioned. That is a central london so not easy to afford, voltagegal Edited March 25, 2005 by voltagegal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

didi 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2005 I agree with the Specialist. Thanx for the comprehensive list Voltagegal. Considering the list of neighbouring areas such as Greenwich/Charlton/Woolwich/Plumstead (I know they're not that close to each other-Plumstead is still a considerable bus ride from Greenwich esp. during traffic) could they be lumped into one tol or neighbouring tols? Anyone have a particular favorite area and why? Or conversely, anyone dislike a particular area and why? The architecture, the facilities, the ppl? Me, I've found myself growing closer to Camden even though I live in South London. Mind you, I like living in south London, but to visit or go out, I find Camden a free open tol, -although I think to go out there a didi or baini needs to have a few dais around for protection. I don't feel that way around the different areas in south London. What do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

London being a huge space in area and outskirts considered as a greater london, I can't think of lumping tols together. Everyone are comfort with their own accessability. Everybody doesn't travel central london everyday. Mind you, I am not good shopper , Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are very close to each other comparing whole lot of london. Taking bus over going next town doesn't mean that you are travelling over next big city.

didi 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Travelling a bus over to the next town is not like travelling to the next big city-but sometimes it really feels like it. Going to central London, although farther, certainly seems more fun even though I'm not a good shopper either-such is the life of students. Just nicer to hang around, somehow I like looking around Camden because it oddly reminds me of Nepal even though I don't really know if it supposed to be a Nepali tol or not like some ppl say. It certainly seems more interesting than Oxford street-I think Oxford Street as New Road of Nepal and Camden as Thamel. I don't know that to call Plumstead or Ealing though-they're in opposite directions and more isolated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
