...what to write, what to write?........
This past week we really got into 'the swing of things' in terms of classes and routine. (We have 3hr long classes, which is tough to get used to!!)
LAst Sunday, i went on a bike ride with Kerry and YAntsu, and we ended up in the country-side. IT was really,really pretty--and nice to see the fields and farmers. THe landscape is like Manitoba in that it is flat. BUT there is rice everywhere, and skinny cows, and palm trees, and people playing in ditches. :) And trucks pretty much driving you off the road! and, of course,We ended up climbing a bunch of trees and picking flowers!! ;)

This week we also got our daily chores--i get to clean the living room in Base 1, and set up/take down the dishwashing center, and wipe tables for lunch! :)
IN class we were learning about the character and nature of God. Which is a really big topic. But really good. I don't know what we are learning next week...?
FOOD!
MY roommate, See Ta, brought me some sort of egg to try. IT tasted good, but AT first it was a bit.....wierd...because the inside was gray. APparently they make a hole in the egg, and drain it. Then they mix the yoke with pepper and other spices, and pour it back in. Then they roast the egg on a BBQ thingy. (All over Battambang you can see these eggs being roasted in the stalls along the street). Anyway, the result is a grey, rubbery.....thing. You dunk it in a sauce that has chili, and garlic, and pepper, and is vinigary, and you add a leaf of basil....sounds delicious, eh?!?
it was pretty good actually :)
I also had a Lotus Pod ("Phly-cho"?) it is pretty good! Tastes like green peas :)
Peace out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would totally try one of those eggs...
