| the boys and the spiders |
- FYI - it took me TWO days to load this blog, I am NOT exaggerating, I don't have fast or reliable internet, so please appreciate even if the photos and entries are out of order, I am just glad it actually publishes....eventually
- Young
boys who have spiders as pets, they carry them in little match boxes. They
take them out and let them fight each other on sticks….Never heard of this
before coming here, what happened to Legos?? Look at the expression on
that boy’s face! I mentioned the spider fighting to a teacher and all I
got was, it was a form of animal cruelty and another said to report them
because they may be betting money on who is winning….?**!!!! Do boys in
the US
fight spiders?
- The
shoes – 4 inch platforms in the FRONT!! OMG the shoes here are to die for!
(and I probably would if I walked in them…)

- Christmas
starts in Sept. – it’s a “ber” month….the flashier the better!
- Sepak
Takraw- a very unique National sport, a combo between soccer and
volleyball, only for boys though
- flat
tires, just another day for texting and wiping sweat
- pigs –
every house (almost) has at least one , they make cool snorting sounds….
- floooood
and waves at the breakwater in Manilla, yet life goes on
- live 3
hour tv shows w incredible talent
- what
makes it all worthwhile…reading!! This class was NOT well behaved earlier
but when I pulled out the story books, you could hear a pin drop! Look at
the intensity of their faces, even the very naughty boys were in the back
READING!!
For those of you who have donated
books, thank you so much! For those of you looking for a Christmas project, why
not consider sending us inexpensive paperback easy to read storybooks?? I can
send address if interested.
