Eating Matoke with Chopsticks; Cultural Collision

A short update to say I had an amazing lunch today.

I ate with two Korean nuns who take care of 36 AIDS orphans not far from the main community.

We ate Matoke with chopsticks.  We also had sea weed imported from Korea!  It was an amazing meal as we tried to communicate and get to know each other over yummy chili sauce, stir fried veggies, and beans.  It was a collision like I've never seen before.

The house has 3 languages; Korean, English and the local language.  No one speaks all 3! 

The children are so beautiful.  I think I'll be spending some time down there this week.
