Jingthing Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 OK, I had never heard of her before but what a interesting life she led: Over the next five decades, she would become the best-known American in Nepal. She was sought out by diplomats, and for years, she held court at the boozy expatriate gatherings at her expansive house, which held two grand pianos, in downtown Kathmandu. Adams founded Nepal's first travel agency, wrote newspaper columns and established a foundation that built homes for impoverished, lower-caste citizens. She called for political change and, during one period of turmoil, was expelled from the country. http://www.durangoherald.com/article/20160423/AP/304239859/
