Cultural Exchange

Visthar is currently host to a group called, School of Peace; SOP, as it is affectionately known, is attended by students from areas of conflict in Asia: Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal, Burma, Bangladesh, and Vietnam. Getting to know the group thus far has been too much fun, as well as profoundly educational; I can only imagine that the coming months will be an exciting time of learning and interacting and new friends.

In the mean time, though, tonight was Thai food night. It was really an exchange between myself and them; they created a masterpiece soup called tom yun and I taught a sweet little Muslim girl named Noorizan about food baby.

Nothing like a little tom yum food baby for cross cultural awareness :)
