Cool and Dark
The inside of the house was dark. Although there was
electricity, which ran a TV and a newly arrived
regfridgerator, there was very little light in the home.
Our room, off to the left, had no windows, no lights, and
one door.
The kids would watch quite a bit of television, in Thai.
I found it strange to see the Mien children growing up
learning Thai and watching shows that pictured a life
very different from their own.
