from los angeles.
i had little access to comp for 4 weeks so i am trying to write some of the stories i remember.
met a little 15 year old from Bhutan who was my translator for patients- little monks. Sunam was his name. He offered to help all the time since I could get him out of class. He had eyes like a teady bear and looked about 13 or 14. he walked with me and helped me get an auto ruksha for all three of us to the next camp area. we needed to get a second opinion on a little monk who hurt his arm. i bought them both lunch on the way back and we got to talking.
I learn english in bhutan. in school alleniverson. i like allen iverson. know him? in bhutan i watch TV NBA and sit in front of TV. i got NBA jersey allen iverson. I like watch allen iverson and wear jersey. when i come to Bylakuppe to become monk i want to take jersey. my mother said no. she say monk should not wear allen iverson jersey.
Do you play basketball? I ask.
head master say basketball not sport for monks.
-Did you want to become a monk or your parents wanted you to become a monk? I ask.
My parents like, I also like.
