As excited were the Nepali people to witness one of the first western band to play in Nepali soil, Bryan Adams also seemed to be equally excited, according to his twitter post:
In the photo (above, by-Dipesh Shrestha, Nagarik ), Bryan smiles to the crowd at the airport.
After the concert, Bryan Adams, posted the following photo of the crowd in his twiterpic account with the title –
Nepal is probably the only country in the world where people can’t have their national flag on their vehicles. The Nepali national flag is only allowed to be hoisted on the vehicles of high ranking leaders/officials including the President, Prime Minister, and Chief Justice among others.
Why can’t general citizens be proud of their national flag and have it decorated on their vehicles? I salute the owner of this vehicle with the Nepali flag attached to it.

UPDATE: According to the Royal rule (1992 policy) only the following individuals can hoist flags in their residence, office and vehicles :
Members of the general public can hoist the national flag in their private homes and offices to celebrate the coronation of a king and his birthday, and to mark national unity day and democracy day.
The prime minister, chief justice, speaker of the House of Representatives, chairs of the upper house and the Royal Council, and chiefs of diplomatic missions may display a flag on their official residence, vehicle and office.
A 1959 government directive allows the ministers to hoist the flag on their official vehicles while commuting to and from official ceremonies.
In 1992, the deputy prime minister, deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, assistant ministers and the deputy chair of the Upper House were given permission to affix the flag to their official vehicles for official ceremonies.
I am not aware of any changes to these rules. Please comment if you know of any government rules that make such provisions invalid.
It is not only a security nightmare but also against the law to transport three people on a two wheeler. Nagariknews published the following photo showing three schoolgirls in their school dress travelling on a scooter. The photo was taken in the heart of Kathmandu, Narayanhiti Palace. It is to be noted that the headquarter of Traffic Police is within a few minutes’ walk from the scene.
This is a post office in a remote district of Nepal, Rolpa. The officers come to the office everyday. But, they don’t open the doors. They just open the letter box (hanging in the center) and take the letters and go home.

Officially, oath is taken in the "name of God." Being a communist, our new Prime Minister, Jhalanath Khanal, took the oath in the "name of citizen of Nepal".
