This is the third time I am trying to post. The electricity goes out just when I am about done every time and I lose everything. So I am going to do this in sections so I can at least get something posted. First, to answer some questions:
1) We did make all that Kaphse in the little fryer. It took literally all day and we were all tired by the end of the day. My host mom and Nowang, her daughter, took turns cooking it while the others made the mix and pressed it and cut it.
2) I have been food shopping because it is just along the road. There are meat markets, fruit markets and vegetable markets along the main road that you just have to walk up to and choose your food. The meat markets are hard to get used to becaust the cut meat just sits there with flies on it util someone decides to buy it. I haven't eaten very much meat here....
3) Clothes to bring: most people wear jeans and a zip-up jacket. I am happy with what I brought - two zip-up jackets, a hoodie sweatshirt and a coat to go over a variety of sweaters and T-shirts. Two pairs of jeans have worked out nicely. Don't bring anything with any white on it, especially socks (you have to wash by hand and it isn't worth it). I wear tennis shoes although the girls wear little heels with socks and the guys wear dress shoes. I am happy in tennis shoes. However, March is the rainy season and I hear that means a lot of rain. So I guess be thoughtful about that.
4) I did get my dress and I love it! It is fancy and practical. I haven't worn it to school yet because i wasn't feeling well recently and I just lounged around in my sweats for a day and a half. Anyway, I am excited to show you all!
