Beyond the Sky and the Earth : A Journey Into Bhutan / Jamie Zeppa
Livre
Edité par Doubleday Canada Limited. CA - 1999
In 1989 Jamie Zeppa set off, with great trepidation, for Bhutan – a place she had read about only in library books. Leaving a comfortable academic career, and her fiancé, to join a two-year teaching program for young Canadians was a life-altering decision for Zeppa, but the opportunity to live in a country as remote as Bhutan was one she simply couldn’t ignore. Following a brief orientation, she was unceremoniously dropped – along with her lifetime supply of chocolate, delousing shampoo, and long underwear – at a remote Bhutanese village. There, the new Grade Two teacher from Sault Ste. Marie encountered fleas, landslides, rats, kerosene stoves and leeches, and did not believe she would survive two weeks, let alone two years.
