Kali has chosen to live here in my town and is fairly confident she will live here for the rest of her life. She gets frustrated with the day to day life about as much as any other foreigner here, but she feels like the community she has made and the life she is creating for her kids makes it worth it. She loves talking about music, art and culture. When we get together it is so easy to converse and relate – which is rare thing living in a culture where there are so barriers – that I have come to very much appreciate her friendship.
