I am from Nepal. The irony in all this is that we Nepalese will keep flying the Qatar Airways. The Nepalese airlines, a state-owned corporation, used to have regular flights to many busy destinations like Frankfurt. But like with everything that has happened in Nepal for the last 10-15 years, this has gone downhill.

Qatar bribed many Football Associations in FIFA to get this world cup bid. One of them was Nepal. The Nepalese FA's president is in good terms with the Qatari FA, and was apparently given nice kickbacks for voting in their favor.
