Money exchange

In Nepal money get a totally different level of respect than anywhere else in the world that I've been to. Notes and coins don't just get chucked around there is a particular way of handling money. When you are handing money over or receiving it you can only ever use your right hand. And as you hand it over, you touch your left hand to your right forearm or elbow. It's hard to explain without seeing it done, but immediately  there is a sense that the money has a bit more meaning. It's a habit I really like and remember noticing the last time I was here.
