We are still only getting settled here. After we talk with our host we’ll have an idea when and where we’ll be teaching first! We are so excited, what an opportunity to serve such a beautiful people. Each one with a family, a history, a heart. They are just like us – and totally different. They drive cars and scooters/motobikes. They go to work and have babies. They hope for the future and enjoy the present. They eat lots of rice and not much potatoes. Most don’t have much meat in their diets, except chicken. They have some strange drinks that are not so tasty. So they are the same – and yet different.

 

But what do you think – more the same or different?
