Guns And Games
Sorry i havent updated in a while, blogger was being rejected from the computers.
50 days till i'm back!!!! thats crazy, it seems so fast alredy.
I got to go to padang recently with my host family, that was fun, we were in the big plaza and got to go on computers that actualy worked, it was cool and we might be able to go back.
Almost my sister's and grandmother's birthday! again i'l be home soon, because after that it's only a month and a half.
New game in Gurun. We buy these air soft plastic pelet guns and play 'shoot each other'. Very stupid but there's not much else to do in your spare time in a village. I'v read 4 or 5 books alredy and only have 1.5 left.
Phones! We found a phone connection that has a great line and is only 1,000rp a min! super cheep! i called my family and it was nice to chat with them.
Our work progects are comming along well, the road is almost done and our library is painted. We finaly have garbage cans and are planning a comunity meeting to get everyone to help us.
I'm getting used to rice for breakfast, but man do i miss chereoes. I can cook some stuff too, i can make creps and deep fry stuff, (everything is deepfried, potatoes, bananas, chips.)
Bak-So, it's like meatball ramen, 3-4,000 a bowl, good stuff. I think it comes from the japanese culture from when they were occupying indonesia.
What else? I finnished my 1,000 cranes. It's a good feeling. We had a mid progect meeting out at a resort ish place, at one point a herd (gang? flock? pack?) of monkeys, like 50 of them came and we threw fruit at them, one actualy came inside and started rooting through the garbage.
Yeah, less things suprise me now, like a giant spider or suddenly 5 lizards on your wall gets a reaction of "oh, yeah, that thing, been there done that." It rains EVERY day. terrential downpour only get one or two a year at home kind of rain. the streets flood a bit but Gurun is on the side of a hill so the water flows down into the rice feilds.
So yeah, i'm off for now, be back soon!
