Yesterday, we spent a day in the life of Auntie and Uncle Dave, complete with language lessons and hanging the laundry on the line. I was amazed at how excited I got when I was squeezing the laundry out by hand and the water poured onto my feet to cool me off!!!
Today, we shopped a little bit and then went to the park this evening. There were people doing aerobic-type exercises in the park which was really fun to watch. There were also plenty of street vendors, so Asia and Ezra were quick to choose two Power Ranger balloons. Some of the vendors were selling various cooked insects, but none of us were quick to choose those!
After some time at the park, we headed to Marianne's Pizza Garden for dinner. I'm not really sure if the pizza is any good because all of us had rice and noodles. One of the pizza choices was "hot dog pizza" which did not interest our boys at all, surprisingly. Tim and I both finished our whole plate of noodles using only chopsticks. Whooh! Hooh! Aren't you proud, Chris??
The primary mode of transportation here is a "moto" (a scooter similar to the one driven by Mr. Wieck for you MHS folks). Tim is getting quite good on one despite no stop signs, stop lights, traffic lanes, or required directions to go. Tonight, on the way to the park, we were headed right into 3 or 4 other motos and narrowly missed them. Our moto had me, Tim, Ezra, and Simon on it. Tim asked, "were you scared?" I said, "uh...yeah!!!" However, with the wind blowing in my face and Simon holding onto me for dear life, I had a revelation. As scared as I was, I would be even more scared to ever miss the things God is calling me and our family to because of my own fears. So, I'll keep "riding the moto" in my own life, whatever that might mean for me, because He's my dad and I trust Him.
