So we got day 1 of week 2 under our belt today. Unit five is much the same as unit four but with some new vocabulary. We still have to go out and ask people questions and then write up their answers. We also have to make sentences using a root word and changing it to fit different senarios. The Indonesian language has only one tense but has active and passive sentences. So it's not nearly so hard as english in that sense.
It's been raining a tremendous amount here. According to the locals that's because it is Imlek-the chinese new year. They say that it always rains a lot the month of the chinese new year. They don't really like chinese here, so they are an easy scapegoat... I told my neighbour that I felt like I was back home in Canada where we can have rain for an entire month. And she said, "Oh, you have Imlek there too?" Quite hilarious!!
Otherwise things are just fine out here. For the time being, we are all healthy!
