I am trying to get use to the food here. Breakfast today was bread and what looked like and tasted like Top Raman which was the vegetarian option-meat lovers got either pork or meatballs. What happened to pancakes and eggs...
We worked our tails off today and are still behind. We carried bricks, sand and rocks. Tough day today getting ready to pour concrete. I have gotten attached to a 5 year old named Nhi. Super darling. Everyone is so warm and friendly and I had a couple of toys I gave to the kids. We had lunch with the female monks at the Buddhist Temple next door. They were so hospitable to us and wanted us to stay for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. I don't know if I have mentioned this yet regarding the bathroom facilities-there aren't any-you find a bush or in this case the nearest grave. However, the monks have a bathroom so today we didn't have to worry about it. We end our work on this home tomorrow around 2pm and will go onto another home in Dong Thap. We will be putting up the brick wall tomorrow. The other team completed their home today (I guess they are better then us at building a home then we are!) We may recruit them to help us tomorrow!
I had fun shopping in the market tonight. Blondes are a rarity here and everyone stops to look and say "hello."
I have forgotten what day it is......
Lastly, I have been attacked and almost eaten alive by bed bugs. I thought they were mosquitos but they aren't. So for you all, don't let the bed bugs bites. For me, I have no option.
