June 28, 2023 - Аит Маарек Болсун! (Happy Eid! in Kyrgyz) Just a small portion of a table in one of the seven houses we went to 🥴
June 27, 2023 - table set with fresh boorsok that my fellow trainees and Kyrgyz teacher made in preparation for Eid (Аит in Kyrgyz). I would have helped, but I have a cold and thought it would be better to just watch
June 26, 2023 - helped my host mom make Быжы this evening, sausage made with sheep meat, rice, carrots, garlic, onion and pepper stuffed in sheep intestine and then boiled. Thinking about the source too much makes me a bit squeamish because it’s not something I normally eat, but I liked the taste!
June 17, 2023 - Training Host Family Matching Day! Met my interim host family and I’ll be living w them for the next 3 months during training, the majority of which will be Kyrgyz language learning. Starting to understand why some people consider parts of this country as being in the “posh corps” 😅
