Halima visits Houston Zoo

Watch this video hosted on YOUTUBE of Halima's visit
to the Houston Zoo



And after the zoo, we took a train ride around Herman Park
It can be boring, so I speed it up to take 1/2 the amount of
time - so it might sound funny too!

US - Tajikistan experience continues

Next Wednesday, Feb 21st, a teacher fromteh town of Isfara will be arriving in Houston to spend a few days at school and a weekend with me and my family.

She is from the town of Isfara, where my partner schools are.

Good for me, I can use her as courier to take some items back to Isfara for my partner Ibrahim.

I'll try and document the visit with pictures and now videos, since I have digital video capabilities and the rise of youtube.

If you visit YOUTUBE.COM and search for videos with keyword TAJIKISTAN, you can found about a dozen I have uploaded so far from my visit last April.


Our future guest in middle.
