As it is the rainy season, it rains just about every day, and most days it will rain two or three times. Today, I woke up rather late (8 am; and I think my brain was unhappy from the 10 hours of snooze time…) spent the morning drawing in the pagoda with the boys, Thin Thin Nyunt and Au Gu Le. The girls left after a while, and I practiced my Burmese letters, then tried to draw the house.
I went with Ko Myo and Kyaw Eh to the restaurant right next to the house for a bowl of Cambodian noodle soup. Sneaky as they are, Ko Myo paid for the noodles as I was still eating, and Kyaw Eh bought us a bowl of papaya salad (shredded green papaya, beans, tomatoes, kale, and a LOT of chili + fish sauce poured on top). We were all sweating from the spiciness within a couple of bites, and I was very glad I had brought my water bottle.
Later, I found that I did not screw the cap back onto my Sigg properly, thus my phone had drowned. Great. (One day later, to my surprise, it started charging when I plugged it in- and then fried itself to death as more leftover moisture fogged the screen. Good going, Flo. Smart you are.)
Also, the internet doesn’t work well when it is raining. At least it isn’t hot, though. Maybe I should cheap out and pull a Skylar and simply not purchase a cell phone while here in Thailand, though I will probably need it for Hong Kong. Oh money. I guess that's what it's for, right? :(
Ko Myo also took an interest in typing, so I've been giving him mini typing lessons. Kyaw Eh is much more thorough when he practices typing though, and will type every line three or four times to make sure he has it down. I will have them hashing out 50 wpm before I'm gone, hopefully!
