It seems like not much exciting has been happening lately, but maybe that's just because life here has gotten so "normal" for us. I've just gotten used to nearly being hit by someone each time I drive into town. The power going off and then on and then off again on random days.
Today the kids had a science fair at school for the morning. There were some neat displays including a live bat, a spud gun and a hover craft etc... I went with Brynnie and the nine year old son of a friend who homeschools. (They normally live in an isolated village interior so whenever these kinds of events are happening, they try to go) Marc played at a friends house.
Unfortunately our laptop has continued it's slow death and the screen no longer works. So we have been forced to purchase a new computer. (the dvd rom and modem have been broken for well over a year already... I know, nobody in Canada uses modems anymore.... well, here we do still use them! We have good internet service through MAF (MAF is not only into aviation, but also communication) but when the power is out or the server in the office is down....) Thankfully, our program manager is in the states right now and is willing to cart one back for us. You can purchase them here, but the prices are quite a bit higher, which I know, is really odd as we are in Asia, where most of the computers are made. I guess it's an issue of volume.
Someone from Holland just brought us droppies!! Not really news worthy info, but exciting for us!!!
