Almost a week in.

September 1st, 2011 cnjenk13

This is the first time in about a week I have had enough time to sit down to a computer and write a full observation of my feelings and emotions from all the things we are seeing here in Kandy. Kandy has hilly terrain, but beautiful trees, plants and flowers From just the first couple days I have learned how to say more than 40 words Sinhala, can respond to peoples question, handle spice levels fairly well and had more rice than one person would like to mention. In all this though, I love it here! From riding three-wheeler taxis through the steep hills or to just seeing the light in Aamaage (my host mother) from the broken pieces of Sinhala I speak to her. On tuesday, We went to the university and toured it. Afterwards we met University students and I was called “Shakira” due to my braids in my hair. We even had a chance to see different temples in the area. There is too much to even mention in this short post I will be back on soon. For now, see you later
