This week (from July 5-12) has been up, down, and all around, full of Dii, Sua, Baw Ngaam (the good, the bad, and the ugly). I have been quite busy preparing for my last week, so this week will just be a list and less of a story; once I get home, the last e-mail will cover in more detail this past week as well.
Good: Saw an elephant, got a partial tan, had more fun teaching, touched a camel, went to Buddha Park (pix to come) and saw awesome statues; ate 6 cent icecream (half off at school), made friends and went out with some people, got to go running, I'm now able to read Lao (equivalent to an 8-year-old).
Bad: The elephant was far away, didn't get to ride it because we went late in the day, got sunburned (and rained on A LOT), lost phone numbers of the friends I made, and my "mom" wouldn't let me run far because she was scared I would be too tired.
Ugly: The teachers just pick random classes for me to teach, instead of giving me a schedule; the pictures and diplomas here are QUITE expensive because they are all expensive, which means I don't have enough money in my budget for EVERYTHING I want, people now get mad when I make a mistake, since I should know better (aka when I stepped over a peice of food; it is AWFUL to do that because feet are so dirty/ritually and religously unclean.
More to come soon, Hope life is grand!!!!!!!!!!
