...students were teenage Tibetan refugees and one monk from Thailand who was in town to learn English. The class spoke a mixture of bad English, Tibetan, and Nepali, but they had signed up for my creative writing seminar anyway.

In my spare time I enjoy reading anything and everything, watching foreign films, and shopping!
