Continuing from where I left off…

During the first week, we walked around That Luang a bit, bought local food, saw kids driving motorcycles, saw guys sitting on top of garbage trucks, walked back, saw some monks, went back to the guest house to change and eat a formal breakfast [the local food we bought], called a van, and went to our first possible NGO volunteering site. It was cute. They had their own little garden, their own little classrooms, and one big room for activities. Half of it was a kindergarten and the rest of it’s an after school thing… and I almost forgot, they grew their own little mushrooms too! After taking the tour they even gave us a little performance before everyone dispersed and went home. They were singing and dancing, it was really cute.

Then after a while, my camera ran out of battery so I couldn’t take anymore pictures…. But anyway, it was almost time for school so we went to the local fruit market down the path and went home to change into our “uniform” and get our books. There goes our 3rd day of school. After school, we went to the US Embassy where they wouldn’t allow us to bring cameras so there are no pictures of us there. After a LONG day, we walked down a block or two and ate at Khop Chai Deu Restaurant. Going home, Sandra made a new tuk-tuk friend, but he got pulled over by a cop while going home. Something about going up a street he wasn’t supposed to.

So this morning, Yaeng and Sandra went out with Guy again to go to the gym. They said there was a swimming pool and everything. Darn, I should’ve gone, but anyway, this morning I woke up to a nightmare and went outside to find everyone studying and doing their homework. I decided to hurry up and do mine too. Upon finishing, Yaeng and Sandra came back and we all ate breakfast that they brought up.
