Maggie:
Peru:
I was born there, in Lima. I don't remember
anything, except that I had to fly home before I learned to walk.
Poland:
still don't remember much since I was only two and
three. Mom says I
liked the trees and the flowers
and the autumn chestnuts and the golden light.
London:
the best place on earth, I know the city very well
because it took and hour to get to school and an
hour back on the school bus. I'm sure this will come
in
handy someday when I am older and have to get
around on the underground.
Mexico:
I was always very sick from the pollution. My brother
was sick too.
This was very sad for my mom, because
she remembered Mexico City as being a
beautiful place
in the 1960's.
Miriam:
Barbados
was lovely and I considered it home and myself a
Barbadian. Our house was close to the coast and
we often went to the beach. It was hard to leave
"home" but after two great years we were
off to Bangladesh.
I
never thought of Bangladesh as home, but I loved
it there all the same. In the summer, we visited
India and Nepal. I liked these places but some of
the thing they ate were sick. I went to the Taj
Mahal in India and rode elephants and trekked in
Nepal. It was exciting thinking about the fact that
I lived where tigers still roamed free in the Sunderbahns.
I
like Armenia but it seems like anything is legal.
Armenia's been having a hard time since the Soviet
Union broke up. the schools was very small but growing
rapidly. When I first got there, there were only
26 kids in the whole school. When I left, there
were 35 students. Next year they're expecting 10
Indian students because an Indian Embassy is opening.
Rachel:
I
was born in Guatemala. I have a Guatemalan birth
certificate!
I don't remember anything about Zambia because I
was only 2 when we left.
My
first memory is coming to El Salvador. The main
place to go for kids was the Embassy pool. I had
a very nice housekeeper named Maria Elba. I remember
the earthquakes!
Now
I am in the Czech Republic. I like to see the historic
castles. The school is super! We got a lot of winter
and I am tired of it by now (April).
Peter:
Egypt.
I don't remember much about Egypt except that I
went inside a pyramid and I was really scared.
Pakistan.
I loved our maid in Pakistan because she took me
to get spicy Pakistani food.
The
Philippines. I didn't like the school in the Philippines
and my whole family hated the traffic. That's why
we only stayed there for 1 and a half years.
Russia.
Russia was my favorite country out of the four.
I lived there for more than 4 years.
