“I have been sick for the last few months so I came to Kathmandu to get myself checked. I didn’t realize that the hospital fees would be this high. I spent my last 1000 yesterday on medicines. This morning I called a distant relative and asked him if I could borrow some from him for my way back home. He said he would meet me here and give me money for my bus fare. I have waited all afternoon and the phone is switched off.”
