We too have an "adopted" son and while his spoken English is Ok, his written could do with a bit of work. As a tourist I tend to judge drivers etc by their English - bit rough for them but them's the breaks, so if Wayan had better English my guess is he would do ever better. And then the whole family would be "better" off too. Bit of a loaded word "better" but at least he could make more choices for himself and his kids. we are taking kids reading books with us, for his kids mostly but also "on the quiet" for his wife who hasn't needed to learn but Wayan would like her to learn so she can be more part of his life with the tourists that he befriends very easily. Sorry to ramble - thanks for the idea. Let us (BTF) know how it all goes.
