There was about ten or fifteen minutes left before class started so i got on my laptop and showed Harimaya pictures on facebook of friends and family haha! she said that my mother was very beautiful and my brother was very handsome haha which both are too true! =D lol and when i showed her a picture of charlie, she said 'ooooohhhh he is very handsome man! you have done well!' haha and she laughed and patted me on the back. LMAO!
we had to go out and do another 'foreign language walk' where this time we had to come up with a six sentence dialogue and then go out in the street and find an informant to tell us how to say it in nepali. basically we had to have a conversation with these people!! its hard to explain lol for me anyways!
when i did it i went to the same place i did the one from yesterday, only this time i consulted some college students haha... they were Very funny! every one of them (there was about 5) wanted to help me and at the same time they were asking different questions all in Nepali and in choppy english! ahaha i was soo confused for a long time but we ended up becoming friends and i gave one of the girls my email so we can keep in touch =]
During class one of our teachers told us that we have the option of attending this convention at the British Council right down the street from my house. there are limited seating and teachers from all over the world are going to be there! even some who trained at oxford and harvard! and i get to go! ahh so excited. The convention is going to be about how to teach children who are blind in the classroom, and how best to incorporate that into our lesson plan without singling them out and so on.
on our walk home tonight harimaya and i were teaching each other how to pronounce different words in eachothers languages and i was telling her about my family what my house was like and what things were like back at home pretty much and we were so int o our conversation that we had no idea we had become lost hahaha! it took us a few mins to gain our bearings again lol =D
OH i almost forgot. i found this new website calld www.freerice.com
it is a website that helps to aid hunger. you answer some questions and every one you get right, you instantly donate ten grains of rice to a country! it costs no money and the questions are in different categories and even in difficulty! its fun and easy and helps out a country! you should check it out for serzzz =D
Hi you sound like you're having a great time! It's so great that you already become friends Harimaya. Can you post a picture of her? Also haha @ her comment about Charlie. What is her life like? I am curious to hear more about her.
ReplyDeleteThe convention sounds amazing as well. Be sure to let us know how it goes and I am interested in hearing what techniques they will teach you for educating the blind.
Also, a few posts back, you mentioned that sometimes women have to cover their heads in certain situations there. So far, what are your observations about the status of women there? Is it acceptable for them to have positions of power and careers? Or are they mostly confined to the sphere of domesticity?
ooh that was a lot of questions! I'm am just a very curious cat.
