共有水ボトル
It was really a wonder for me. On our home way from Thamel , San and I dropped by a cafe which was not for tourists but for local people. That was a small cafe having four or five tables. There is a show case for white sweets near the entrance.When I sat down, I found there were a bottle of water on each tables.

Pour water without touching mouth
They were same as bottles I saw the bottles in some San's house too.They pour water from the server with filtering into the bottles and put them some places in their house like in the kitchen and in the living room. When they drink it, they never touch their mouths. They pour water from the bottle into their opened mouth from the bottle very well.
I tried doing it was hard for me to pour water from relatively big bottles into my mouth.
Belief that human nature is fundamentally good
I saw customers also doing that in the cafe！I didn't know the shop clerk changed the bottle to a new one after previous customer at the same table left, but there was a bottle at a table and a guy coming in poured( not "drink") water from it before he sat down.I supposed Nepali people's view is based on that human nature is fundamentally good like Japanese one.
それは非常にびっくりする光景でした。タメルからの帰途、観光客向けではなく、地元の人向けの喫茶店に入りました。テーブルが４、５ある小さい喫茶店です。
口を付けずにそそぐ
席に座った時、各テーブルに水の入ったボトルが置いてあるのに気付きました。それはサンの家にもあります。お水をフィルターからボトルに入れて、キッチンやリビングルームなどにおいておきます。そしてそこから水を飲むときは、口をつけないんです。みずをボトルからうまい具合に口にそそぐんです。
わたしもトライしたけど、ボトルが大きくて難しい。
性善説
喫茶店でもお客さんがそれをやってたんです! 前のお客が帰った後にボトルが交換されたか分かりませんが、新たに入ってきた男性、席に着く前に水を口にそそいでました。ネパールの人は性善説に成り立ってるんだなと思いました。
