I hate it when i've just typed a huge post and then when i want to send it, the page just deosn't want to go trough. And of course i handn't paid attention and missed that there were no drafts either... So i have to do it all again. It'll probably be shorter this time.....
Kyaw Kyaw is in Bagan (or actually in Nyaung-U which is literally next door to Bagan). He needs 1 paper for his passport extension (yes here in Burma you can get a passport extension!Then again, a passport is valid for only 3 years). even though he hasn't lived in his village or Nyaung-U for over 15 years, he still needs to go there to get this one paper. Or pay an exhorbitantly high fee to have someone else arrange it for him. Even family isn't authorized to do it except when they pay a lot. Anyway, on the bright side, he visited his family yesterday so that was nice. He had troubel (again!) on the way up there. Apparently he and his fellow passengers slept alongside the road becasue the bus broke down. He arrived in Bagan 24 hours after he'd left Yangon. Even though it is normally 15-16 hours. And it has been like that for the last 3 times that he went there. So he wasn't all that happy since he had planned to get the paper he needed on wednesday which would allow for an extra day if need be. Now he can only hope that it can be done in one day otherwise he'll probably need to stay the whole weekend.
Me, i spend my time in a whole different manner. Yesterday i had a lovely day alone with Xenne. Even the maid had a day off which both she and i enjoyed. The only drawback was that we didn't eat pasta yesterday as i had planned. Xenne wanted to be held all teh time yesterday evening. And since he was ill last week i couldn't deny him that. But cooking AND carrying a toddler at the same time does't work very well. So i ordered in some fried rice. He only wants to eat whatever i eat anyways now. I had made him some nice porridge and yoghurt yesterday but when we were at the teashop he wouldn't eat anything else than my noodlesalad. No matter that the salad was medium spicy... And this morning it was no different, though i was prepared this time and asked them not to but in any chilli.....
Wednesday we had our annual sportsday at school. Well, sportsday.. More fun-and-games day. Coconut shell relay (where the kids walk on coconut shells cut in half), sponge toss, banana relay (which involves blindfolds and unpeeled bananas), water balloon toss, golden coin relay (with the attributes of bowls of flour), tug-of-wars etc..... Much fun. But i think we should have some more water-based games next time. Even though it wasn't extremely hot yet, being out in the sun all day just asks for a waterfight.....
Ok, let's see if i can post this....
