What a week!

Kids in Em's afternoon class, learning about the family

Celebrate Su-Fang's Birthday

We've done a ton in the last week - Em teaching, and I, learning. Em also did some learning about teaching, and as I've been discovering about marriage, this means that I did too. :)

With a bunch of people

Our days start at about 5:45am, the same time when the pagoda's start blasting their tunes. I'm not sure if it's a call to prayer kind of thing, but I'm starting to be able to distinguish the voices of the different monks, and some of the different tunes that they play. Em works by 7, me by 7:30, we break for lunch at 11:00, start again by 1, I finish by 4:30, and Em by 5.


Then we have evenings, where we do various things, like this:

Far from mystery-cult-worship, this is a snapshot of a game called
 "shocking!"

You can't really see it, but we hooked up our little BENQ
 projector, and watched a pirated version of the smurfs

The Streets were PACKED during the water festival

This was the fruit of several attempts to capture the sporadic fireworks

We sat upstairs to see the river and check out the scene

People in the streets

I bought two more low-cost lacoste shirts

P.S. the week got so busy that I couldn't even finish this post! Instead of completing it, i'm posting, and writing a new one on what's happened since then! :)
