Life in General






OK first of all let me appologize about the picture thing. Last time I was here I started to post the pictures which takes about five to ten minutes per photo when something terrible started to happen. Twenty minutes before this I had just eaten a bowl of yogurt then my host mother gave me a giant bowl of hot soup to eat. By the time I got to the post office-where the internet is- I was not feeling so well. Which started the weeklong purge of everything that was in my body. Im OK now though.

What is our diet like? For breakfast I generally just eat some bread with butter and water. Everyonce in a while my host mother will fry me an egg in the morning. Lunch consists of soup for the most part. Very hot soup. Not hot spicy, boiling hot. Speaking of spices they are not used much here, at least in the food that I have been getting. Dinner can be anything but there is only a couple main dishes that are served consistantly. Buzz- which is like a steamed peirogi. Huushur which is like a deep fried peirogi, and tsuivan which is a noodle dish with meat. be tsuivand doortai.- I like tsuivan. My whole family knows this because it is the only thing that I can say.

Off topic, I just found out that for my birthday, my parents are sending Dean and I to Las Vegas! I am really excited, but I wish you guys were here to help celebrate! Miss you!

Thanks for the photo's...I printed them off for Grandma Prelaske and it's there that I noticed the rainbow. How's the English class going, we heard through the grapevine that you had well over 100 attendees, nice drawing of a mongolian horse...are your siblings giving us the peace sign?

Things are great here. Missing you.

Hey you guys. I miss you. I am very excited that you are having a good experience. I'm glad to see your pictures. Mike you are a giant compared to those guys, how are you gonna wrestle them? I hope you didn't kill him. Allie's mom said you are moving. I would like to know more about this. If you wouldn't mind addressing it in your next blog I would appreciate it. I want to send you guys some stuff. I guess you don't need booz but if there is anything specific let Lavonne know and have her e-mail me ok. Otherwise I get to pick what I think You need. That could be dangerous for everyone involved. Love you guys!

Is it just me, or is the "weeklong purge" just a little too much info?!?!?!?!;) You guys look fantastic! Hope you're having as much fun as we are talking about you. How much trouble would you be in if you were to use the English classes to teach random slang instead of the correct translation? Just a thought. Good thing I'm not there.

Hey Guys...Great Pictures! Looks like you're both doing well, look healthy and still smiling...that a positive sign!

When do you anticipate the weather to start changing there...will it go into a rain season first or straight into the cold/snow season?

We're all interested in finding out where your assignments will be...hopfully someplace nice and comfortable with indoor plumbing.

Love ya both...take care.
