Two Countries, Two Homes

What types of clothing do you like to wear?:

I like to wear jeans or shorts and t-shirts. When I am working in the field in Nepal, I wear shorts and t-shirts.      

What do you like to do in your free time?:

During my free time, I chat with my family in Nepal and my friends. However, I do not have a lot of free time when I am in Jodhpur, so I generally rest when I am not working. Sometimes I go for a walk near where I live and work. In Nepal, I like to play volleyball.

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

I speak Nepali, Dotiyali, Doteli, Magar, and Hindi. I mostly say “Hello!” and sometimes “Namaste!” to elders when I greet them.

Do you have pets?:

I have one dog. He is a Bhoti. They are bred to herd and protect sheep from leopards and other large cats.

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

I mainly travel between my village in Nepal and my job in Jodhpur. The only other place I have been to is Jaipur (the capital of the state of Rajasthan).

What do you do for work?:

I work in the housekeeping department and the kitchen in a hotel.

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

I hope that you can visit India or Nepal one day!
