Goat Slaughtering Holiday

It is that time of year again where we get to celebrate Idul Adha, well I do not celebrate but I get some time off of school. Muslims slaughter goats and cows and give the meat to the poor. I decided to stay home and save some money for when I go to Africa this Christmas. Some things that I plan on doing while I am on holiday dodging the dead goats:
-get a haircut
-go shopping in Jakarta
-sleep in
-read a book
-watch a movie in theaters
-go to the fabric store

It should be a relaxing enjoyable holiday which is just what the doctor has ordered.

A Wedding

We went to a wedding in Chihileut which is where I give the English lessons on Tuesday after school. The wedding was for one of my students sisters. The wedding had been going on all day, but we got there after school. We first had to buy some umbrellas because it was raining. Then went to the wedding. We said congratulations, took some pictures, and ate some dinner. The chicken was yummy. Here are some pictures. The woman and man in the orange is the bride and groom. The kids loving getting their picture taken and then looking at it. That is what we did most of the time, take pictures.




This has nothing to do with the wedding but on Monday we went and ate African food that one of my friend's friends made that is visiting. It made me really excited to go to Africa this Christmas.

Marble Art

On Friday in Art class we did marble art. You take a marble dip it in paint and swirl the marble all over paper. The students really loved it, and they did a pretty fabulous job.

Malaysia and Marvelous Fruit

As you know for Idul Fitri I went to Malaysia. We spent lots of time driving around on a motorbike named Maggie trying to figure out where we were in this big earth. We figured it out for the most part.


We decided that we were going to create a TV show about 2 girls on a bike named Maggie in a quest for delicious food. You would watch that show right? Anyways. One night we went to a night market and bought lights, now they are hanging on our wall(after some mad hammering skills) and they look like this.


Brittany went to the market today to buy some fruit and veg., and this is what she came back with. It is marvelous looking, and tastes marvelous too. I already had a Mangosteen.

Rhyming Words

As we have been learning about rhyming words these past 2 weeks this conversation ensued...

"What is a word that rhymes with cart?"
"Part, mart, smart"
"Fart"
Resounding in a series a loud obnoxious noises. You catch the drift.
