Yay! The blog appears to be working now. I'm on an ancient computer, so sometimes I think it decides to work, and other times, it's like, "Nope, not today."
Alrighty, so no more mass emails hopefully.
It's Saturday morning here, and the sun is coming up. I can see the sky again today, which is very nice. On my first day, all I could see was haze. It's very polluted here.
Yesterday I followed a teacher around and watched her teach children. It was interesting. The moms/grandmoms are really sweet and give us all snacks like Mandarin Oranges, tea, chestnuts, sweet potatoes, etc. At one place I had a noodley dish called "duck" something in a spicy sauce. Amazing. We all sit around a tiny table about a foot off the ground. My back and rear end do NOT enjoy this. lol.
I have NO idea how I am ever going to be able to drive in this country. It's VERY aggressive. VERY scary. The side streets are tiny and windy, and intersect every few metres with about 5 more tiny, windy streets. Each street is crammed with as many buildings as possible in all different shapes and sizes. Plus a lot of people get drunk at night, each night, and drive afterwards. Yay hooray.
Again, thank you to all who have been emailing. I sooooo appreciate it. I'm going to re-add some of the photos I emailed to everyone, just so I have them all in one place.
So take care, and Happy Weekend everyone!!! (Can you believe I was actually too tired to go out last night??! I passed out on the ride home and dove into bed as soon as I arrived home. It was, oh, about 9pm).
