Kathmandu×Port of Spain
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Kathmandu uses the NPR (₨) and Port of Spain uses the TTD ($). Language shifts too — Nepali in Kathmandu, English in Port of Spain. Cars drive on the left in both, so rentals feel familiar.
