Hey to all!!!
Thanks to all who are posting comments to me!! it is great for me to hear from you as well, so please write me as much as possible and do put your names, since it doesn't always show who it is from.
I feel like I am in a different world, no, more like on a different planet, away from everybody and everything I know.... a strange feeling but I am enjoying everything despite what things are like here and have no problem living like this so far, I am already getting used to everything, very surreal though, today after I followed the kids to school, I had to cross a big road which is not that easy without any traffic lights, so in the middle of the busy intersection was a cow walking around, and nobody was bothered about it, I figure that must be normal to the rest of them.
The way things are here keeps you a little more humble and appreciative of life as we live it in other parts of the world. This morning we got drinking water at 3:00am so Karna had to get up to start a pump to fill up 2 big containers we have for that and if there is extra, then all the kids will wash their hair and clothes in that as well because our washing water is not really that clean, so all got up at 5:00 to enjoy the water for an hour before it is shot off again, that is all going on outside in the yard and the kids are all happy to be able to do that no mater what time a day, today we had power at that time so he didn't have to wake us all up at 3:00am to the sound of the generator. I sleep surprisingly well considering all the constant barking of all the street dogs, they are starting to annoy me though, in the day they will all be sleeping along the streets, on top of garbage heaps or elsewhere, I am sure to save energy for the nights barking, I feel like waking them all up:-) Walking to Kaji's house in the dark was not that great, with no electricity everything is black and we always have to walk on narrow streets, so with cars and motorcycles and pedestrians it was not the most comfortable thing to do, even though I had my little flashlight, thanks Deb! Dinner was good, we sat on the floor to eat. On the way back his brother drove me home on his motorcycle, no helmet, which I will tell you is a very interesting law, I suppose it makes sense to them, you can ride as many people as you want on a bike, any age too, in the morning when I walk people drive their kids to school and sometimes have even babies on the bike too, now the interesting part, you are only allowed one helmet per bike, the reason I was given was if they get in an accident, they will take off their helmets and start a fight so 4 or more helmets are too much, I know that sounds far out, but they must have stats that helmet bashing is more dangerous than the accident it self:-) , if you were here you would probably believe it too, anything is possible. Well I am off to my Garden of Eden for some sanity and peace. I miss everybody a lot so please write me!!! Inger
