Our "flat" in Nia Busti

This is for Mrs. Whipple's class who we spoke with today on Facetime. Lots of good questions! Keep 'em coming 4th graders!

We live in Nia Busti.  This means new village. We live down the hill from the school, about an 8 minute walk. We walk to school in the morning on a partially paved and curvy bumpy road.  In the afternoon we usually take the bus home because it is raining. At night a driver picks us up for dinner back at the school. There are a few small shops near our house that sell soda, chips and some home basics. One American-Swedish 2nd grade student lives in a building adjacent to us and there are many other children as well.

View from our balcony. Mt. Kanchenjunga is hidden behind the clouds most days.

The bathroom. We also have a bathroom on the balcony that has a shower.  You have to turn on the water heater before and if there is not electricity, then no hot water! We lose electricity about every other day.
