Thousands of miles from any coastline, we taught the girls the patented Miskov shaka.
This is the 4th video in my wife’s series of videos on her students. Javzaa is definitely one of our favorites. We teach her English every Friday and Kim has had her in both of her photography classes. She is also part of the really great crew that comes over for dinner and movie nights once a month. Javzaa is ridiculously smart (she speaks Mongolian, English, and Turkish), endearingly sweet, and endlessly kind. As you watch this video though, pay attention to what she says about parents, teachers, and why she wants to be a teacher.
The M*ngolians celebrated their first Olympic gold medals this year. See how they celebrated. Also, you can see Kim do her best shepherding and see a couple explosions from one of the world’s biggest copper mines. Quite a diverse video, no?
January 5th, 2008.
Kim and Rachel created and taught the first ever photography class in Erdenet. To celebrate, they held the city’s first ever photography exhibit. Not too shabby for a girl from Texas and a girl from Boston.
You’ve been to the market and seen two gers, now it’s time to see how we do laundry in M*ngolia.
M*ngolians traditionally live in gers. Kim and I visited two of our friends’ gers so you could see what they are like.
