The yeti and an image problem
The Nepal Tourist Board's mascot for 2020 is a yeti, the big-foot monster of Himalayan fables.
But the statue they have commissioned for their campaign has caused controversy among Nepalis. Some say it looks more like a sumo wrestler than a hairy scary monster.
Kamal Parajuli of 大象传媒 Nepali has been following the controversy.
