Today is the first full day that we spent with our host families. Although we were separated, we completed our scheduled activities together as usual. We started the day by eating our first breakfast with our host families in preparation for a meeting at the REC. During the meeting with discussed the division of work among our group. These tasks included creating flyers, updating the blog, managing pictures and videos, etc. After sorting out tasks, we went to a restaurant called The Zone. The Zone was a Bhutanese take on American food. After eating lunch, we watched the national sport of Bhutan, archery. With their composite bows, the archers were able to hit targets 150m from their position with remarkable accuracy. After the archery match, we played basketball against a group of local Bhutanese students. Basketball is one of the most popular sports in Bhutan. Many of the students play basketball regularly and are very good at it. We, unfortunately, ended our night with a loss but enjoyed the game nonetheless.
