I’ve been really busy running all over town looking for an apartment to Rent with my friend Aiden for the independent study period. It’s exciting and kind of fun despite the work, but it made me realize that I’ve never posted about my wonderful host family with whom I’ve been living. Below are a couple of photos I snapped at breakfast this morning. The first is of my Amala, Yangzom, watching as my four year old sister, Tenzin Choenyi, spells and shouts the names of more English vegetables than I know (do you know what a capsicum is?).
The picture below it is of my 4 year old brother, Tenzin Chonjup. Choenyi is unbelievably smart and Chonjup is equally lazy. Though they’re twins Choenyi is already a grade ahead; it’s pretty hilarious to hear my amala joke about it. Last night Choenyi grabbed a ruler and sat Chonjup in a chair in the center of the room and demanded he sing the alphabet. Whenever he would mess up, and he would mess up, she would force him to put out his hand and rap him on the knuckles. He responded by asking, in English (I think it’s the only English phrase he knows), “Miss, may I go the bathroom?” Then walking over to Choenyi and pretending to pee on her.
