When we homeschooled we were able to delve into our adopted nations much more thoroughly. I would do a boy doll (though not a GI Joe. lol!) but haven't seen any particularly nice ones. I actually have an interesting photo of two young Tibetan girls that will probably serve as my inspiration Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-52136131921284276572009-07-18T17:12:19.317-04:002009-07-18T17:12:19.317-04:00Your country studies and the dolls that represent ...Your country studies and the dolls that represent each were always a favorite of mine as you home schooled the girls.

Thank you!<br /><br />I loved reading your brief account of your student (and her mother) from Nepal. What a joy it always is to encounter people from other cultures! There is so much we can learn... no matter what age we are. :)Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-3100598393010650122009-07-18T09:22:54.506-04:002009-07-18T09:22:54.506-04:00One of my students was front Nepal.

On the last day of school, she brought the most delicious dumplings for us to share. They were noodle-y with meat inside and a very unique (and delicious) hot sauce to dip with. She was quiet and adaptive to the crazy USA culture, but she had a Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-16806643538168501882009-07-18T08:33:34.461-04:002009-07-18T08:33:34.461-04:00Dee, I'm curious about Tibetan food too!

I did have several penpals in other countries, so I guess my interest in other places in the world is long-standing. <br /><br />Thank you for your friendly comment!Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-8522451501406595402009-07-18T08:22:11.663-04:002009-07-18T08:22:11.663-04:00I can imagine prayer flags fluttering on your hill...I can imagine prayer flags fluttering on your hillside, and you made me wonder about Tibetan food. We are very adventurous about food in this household. I had a doll collection as a little girl and collected dolls from around the world. Sadly, the dolls were damaged when I moved. However, I still have the memories of them unblemished in my mind. Thanks for a wonderful memory.~~DeeDee/reddirtramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-83134270580642976952009-07-18T06:24:37.626-04:002009-07-18T06:24:37.626-04:00Linda, Thank you.
