This is the latest Blog from Roshan, sent Nov 6th '10-----------------------------------------
Many interesting days have entertained me this past week. This past Wednesday, I led a round table at the Teacher’s Institute in the city of Kokshetau . Getting to Kokshetau from my village tests your patience. Waiting for 30 minutes in the snow with a strong wind for sure gave me energy for the presentation. There I am, waiting with the snow whipping into my face in my suit and polished shoes. The round table went well and it was worth the trip. When I arrived home in the early evening, Anatoli (my host father) yelled, “Roshan you want kill pig?” Anatoli is a meat businessman and I’ve always wanted to see him at work. He tells me to hurry up and get out of my professional clothes and into my dirtiest clothes. Of course, I simply watched the process. Those were 30 minutes in which I was glad I was in my scruffiest of clothes.
