March Madness

The Olympics are almost here and I dont mean that crap that is going to happen in Beijing. Im talking about the Regional Academic Olympics that grip Mongolia every March. This is a big deal people so listen up. MARCH MADNESS. There are Olympics in every subject and 3 students compete from each school in the state in their respective subjects. This is such a big deal that the students who are studying for the Olympics regularly dont go to school for about a month but instead spend about five hours a day studying thier subject. Next week Students from the entire Aimag will converge on Muren for the week to compete in the Olympics, coming from all over in a desperate search for fame and glory. -Oh and we finally got our internet working again. New pics too.

Mongolian Oprah

-So I have a new TV show, now I dont mean to point fingers but when Alli got her TV show and she asked for help doing it her loving husband said "ÿes of course I will help because I love you". I wish that I had a loving husband like that.
-Iveelmaa's 4th birthday was on the ides of march and we had a real good time spoiling the crap out of her.
-Once again we thought that we were going to get our internet problems worked out but once again Mongolia defeated us in a spetacular manner. We actually have all of the components at our place but no one knows what to do with them all. Hopefully soon. We love and miss everyone- Mike and Alli
