Conversations with Elders

Despite all of the good intentions, one thing is a common pitfall here. All conversations (unless you speak fluent Dari, Pashtu, and Ordu is having to use an Interpreter (Tajiman). Imagine, having to have a conversation where you explain a thought. Then, your Interpreter has to translate/ Interpret your words and intentions, then explain your thought to your intended audience. Then, you have to wait for your audience to respond and then wait for the translation process to get back to you. This takes....hours, at times. And sometimes, even the best of us "nod off".
