I've filed this note in "Anecdotes"I'm sorry, but I hadn't planned on a "Disasters".
The various tourist guides speak of a "discreet" but present prostitution, whose existence the tourist will not really notice. The main problem here is the Nepalese women who leave to work as prostitutes in Indian brothels and return HIV-positive, while being rejected by their families.
As soon as I arrived, one of Kathmandu's many touts told me without embarrassment:
Do you need, trecking guide ? Hash ? Young girl ?
But it was last night, as I was returning to my hotel at around 11pm - Nepalese go to bed very early, and Kathmandu is deserted like a western town by 10pm. - that I was electrocuted:
A small, well-dressed boy, around 9-10 years old, walks towards me with a big smile. The street is deserted, and it's a strange sensation to see this boy, who doesn't fit in with the scenery, saying to me in perfectly fluent English:
Hello, do you want a special massage ?

In the name of my goofy friends, dear pedo-whites, I hate you.
It must make a very strange impression. It's hard...
Makes me puke, nothing else to say.
So your story ends here? You didn't talk to the boy? Didn't you just say no and thank him? Didn't you sit down with him for a moment and chat, telling him about your trip for example, to take his mind off things? This little boy is first and foremost a little boy, please don't forget that.
There's nothing in your article to say that you didn't have to deal with a rabatteur?
Finally, a tourist is not a dog because he is witnessing a reality!
Incriminations are easy...
Who needs a lesson in morality or oblivion...?
A child with a real need for money won't understand why anyone would be interested in him, and he won't lose sight of what he wants.
He's not short of affection, he's short of money!
A "hatred" or racism could perhaps be directed, at political leaders
of a country!
Your testimony is bogus. NEVER SEEN! Street children yes...girls in bars ok, still you have to look for them..., chit, on every street corner "smok,smok..." but TEN year old children in Kathmandu, at 10pm, prostituting themselves and soliciting on the street...TU AFFABULES ou tu conssommes trop...( Et je connais bien Kathmandu...)
For those of you who were shocked by my previous comment, I apologize for a few grammatical and spelling errors. Why describe this country this way? Kathmandu stinks, it's poor, it's polluted to death and Thamel is unbearable... Okay. You're constantly offered drugs, soft drugs...pot, BUT CHILDREN? Personally, I've NEVER been asked to do that, and you'd really have to misunderstand this country, and want to "sell" trash, to claim that. Already in Thamel at 10pm there are not many people in the streets, and children who prostitute themselves there IS WRONG! Are you just insulting the Nepalese by talking such garbage? Or are you confusing the sidewalks of Manila and Pat Phong with Kathmandu?
Hello Alain,
You mustn't get so worked up. I probably don't know Kathmandu as well as you do, but during my 3-month trip to Nepal, this is exactly what happened to me, in Thamel... I'm just as sorry as you are.
This comment by the guides makes me laugh (yellow) hidden prostitution in Nepal ... In fact it is not especially aimed at Westerners so not concentrated in tourist areas but around the bus park for locals and Indians, in what the Nepalese call "cabins restaurant" in the squartiers of Sundhara Gongabu .... But the uneducated Nepalese, 99% prostitutes who don't speak English, won't go for the toruists, hence this false impression. I agree with Alain 12 years in Nepal never heard of or experienced a similar anectode with a 10 year old boy soliciting!
And then, because it didn't happen to you, it can't exist! !!? That's really taking yourself for the navel of the world!!!. You have an overdeveloped ego!!!!.you take yourselves for experts from Nepal, who know everything about everything!!!! I pity you !!!!
