•Maayong semana (dako/gamay? ambut)‏ 8/14/2012



Where to start?
There seems to have been so many things that've happened!
The weathers been amazing here(mainly because of the breeze;) but yeah it's been nearly perfect, except for the times it's rained super hard and stopped - but for the most part its hot enough to make you sweat.
it's so hard to find houses sometimes - there's no addresses for the most part, just large areas with names - it's hard to find the houses sometimes even when we've been there! if you receive a name with only an address (basic area) then you have to wander around asking - those areas are so hard, it's so nice to get phone numbers!!!
But I am starting to get the hang of finding the ones that we've been visiting - I've been having to lead, and my companion has been having to correct me a bunch of times at the many intersections of skinny cement paths among the houses :P
There's so many trees here! banana trees, coconut trees, mango trees, and I have no idea what the other ones are!
I'm never sure about the water so I usually put it through my water purifier. my companion said that someone tried putting coke in one and they got pure water out of it!
One interesting thing - whenever people check pant sizes, they leave them buttoned up and put them around the neck and if the 2 sides touch together comfortably, it fits! I didn't believe it until I tried with my own pants, and it totally works! your waist is twice the size of your neck no matter who you are! it makes it so much easier for them at stores, instead of having to try them on they just leave them fastened and put them around their neck!
So the other day I went to a kanederya where they have a main dish along with rice, and so they said one was beef so I went for that. as I went to eat it, it looked like star fish! Then I ate it, and I don't know what star fish taste like but that's the taste/texture I'd imagine!  Then I found out it's the intestine (probably the small intestine)!  Apparently all parts of a cow are considered beef - all the same to them :P even my companion counts it as beef! lol I guess I don't have to call it cow intestine anymore.
sa panahon sa paglakaw!
