Homecoming

Dereje's brother left Ethiopia for America when he was 19. Now, at 29
years old, he is a physician in Oakland, California. Although he's sent
money to his family back in Ethiopia, he'd never been back to visit.
Until last week. He arrived on Monday and is staying with Dereje for 2
months. Dereje said that his brother has been in America so long that he
completely forgot Ethiopian culture, and "when he gets emotional" he
tends to speak in a mix of Amharic and English. I asked Dereje if it was
cramped having his brother stay at his place for 2 months. "No, it's
okay. He sleeps with my other brother."
