Day 3 and 4



I love INdonesia  or maybe I just love the coolest family in Indonesia.. I am not sure.  I am having a lot of fun! In case you didn't catch it on facebook, I woke up with a 4 ~5 inch cock roach in my shirt.. not okay.  It was eventful to say the least.  Let me go ahead and give you a quick recap of yesterday and today (Monday and Tuesday). Yesterday we slept in and just hung out around the house for a while.  A little before lunch we got ready and then headed over to the mall.  We got Indonesian phones.. which are really like our phones ,but we bought them in Indonesia so that makes them cooler.  Then we grabbed some Japanese food in the mall and it was pretty good. Then we went to the grocery store and picked up some food for a new family that will be moving in tomorrow. After that we came  back home and got the kids and then we went over to the new house and got some things ready for them for when they come. We set up a ping pong table and played for a while. so fun.  We came back home and ate dinner and just hung out for the rest of the evening. I went to bed early because I was tired. haha. This morning we woke up at like 715 and ate breakfast and such. Then we headed over to the Library and spent most of the day here. We learned some Bahasa  Language and ate some lunch. It was really fun just hanging out with Minar and talking about the differences between where we live.  Some girls came in and we talked to them for a while. One of them sang the Anastasia song for us.. so cute.  They were so sweet and their English was actually really really good.  After talking to them for a couple hours we took pictures, and exchanged face books and e mails. We came home and talked with G for a while.. she is so sweet and funny.  Then we went out to dinner for some pretty darn good food.  Chicken and rice .We ate for like a 2.00. and less than 10 dollars for all six people.  I can officially say that I know how to pull meat off a chicken and eat it.  I try to stay away from the heart. "It's different"  Actually,really gross haha.   I have a picture and I will try to post it. . We came back home and spent some time watching this Indonesian fear factor .. so funny.  We laugh a lot. The whole family is just hilarious. Eli and I made a bet because he didn't believe me that some cats had 6 toes..  somehow I ended up losing, but not without a fight.   Speaking of cats the family has 3: Bruce, Bodacious, and Boris. They are so  hilarious.. like I could really watch them all day. (Just for your information) Okay this post is really scattered I know, but I keep forgetting things.. So today I ate my food with my hands that is just kinda what you do here, its really a sign that you don't like the people if you don't so today I attempted it. I felt like a kid again! Pictures to follow.  Everywhere we go people call us bules and they scream out WHAT IS YOUR NAME just to show you that they know English is it really cute, then they look away really quick. So today a group of boys were walking home from school and we were walking in to our house and they were like WHAT IS YOUR NAME WHAT IS YOUR NAME and we would tell them and then they would just keep saying the say thing because that is all they know haha. So funny.
For the first couple of days I didn't really believe everyone that  the food was spicy because everything we had was not, but the past couple of days that has changed. IT IS SPICY. Even when you tell them to not put any spice in it, it is still like a 4 1/2 or 5 at taste of thai. It's good but hot.
So apparently they sale tigers  on this pet street that they have.  One time they bought one and thought it was a cat and then they realized that it was a tiger.  Crazy!!!  I am hoping that one day we can go look there and maybe we will buy one. SO AWESOME!
 I am tired because I lost 12 games of Mario Kart in a row to Eli and B. 4 th place 12 times.. not acceptable!
  Sorry that it was so unroganized!
  Selamat  Siagone ( Good day)
 Love
