Self Employed Lakhpa in Brussels

(Lakhpa at the right side)

How many people can fit into a small single apartment? The answer might be few people. What about running a small hotel in a small one bedroom apartment? What??? A hotel in a sigle apartment!! How might it be possible to think of a hotel in an apartment? Lakhpa, a self employed, originally from Tibet, proves that it is not impossible. A friend from Brussels took us to Lakhpas's place where we were amazed to see how Lakhpa is making a good business within his small apartment. I thought our friend from Brussels was going to take us to a nice Nepali restaurant for ordering momo and Nepali food. But amazingly we ended up to Lakhpa's place. A small congested kitchen, with a small dinnig table, is what he has as a hotel room. There is another small room where few people can fit in. It is just an apartment but anyone could hardly believe how well he has turned it into a cosy hotel. After few minutes of being there, we were served with momos (not just the momos but the real momos with the flavor in it) along with pickle. Mean while, we also had an opportunity to taste fried pork. The background Nepali music coming out of his bedroom from huge flat-screen enriched Lakhpa's tiny wonderland. Now, his momo business needs no publicity since many Nepalese, Tibetians and quite few Belgians are already his regular customers. At the beginning, he started it with serving food to few Tibetians living in the same apartment. Slowly, it became well known and currently, his place has become one of the junctions for hanging out. It is also surprising to hear that he manages to do home-delivery on his bicycle. Quite unbelievable!! He earns more than anyone with normal (entry level job). An entrepreneur with amazing entrepreneurship. Kudos Lakhpa!!
