U.N. Cars
The U.N. cars really infuriate me for some reason. How to tell a U.N. car: they are the only nice, shiny new cars in the entire country pretty much. United Nations cars (actually, none of them are cars but all are huge white SUV's with UN printed in huge letters on the side.) The U.N. cars absolutley do not fit into the scenes of Kathmandu. Pretty much all the cars and taxis here are tiny, dingy, beat up old things that look like they may break down at any second. And in fact, often do break down in the middle of the road forcing the drivers to get out and push through the madness. The U.N. cars are incredibly easy to spot, needless to say. Anyway, in my personal opinion the U.N. should sell their humongous fleet of spotlessly new white S.U.V's and spend the money on something else, like clean drinking water or educating people about a proper diet. But that is just my opinion.
