The days go by
So heres what we do every day, basically. I wake up at 6 am and jump in the shower - and we can only shpwer for 3 minutes before the hot water runs out. And that's fine because it gives me just enough time to wash the essentials. After shower I make myself a cup of tea and have some cereal with toast while watching morning cartoons. Brian will come and pick us up at 8 and we'll drive for a good half hour to the park which we'rer cleaning. We, and when I say 'we' I mean me, a Welsh kid named Matt, and 6 other kids from Korea and China, we cut out the bad weeds and plants and put poison over them to prevent them from growing back. It's kind of cold in ther morning, but all that cutting really works up a sweat so we warm up quickly. We have nice long breaks where we can walk down the street and grab a bite to eat and all that. I find myself buying a bag of chips just to have tomething besides a cheese sandwich I made at home for lunch.
And chips are french fries
Mackers is MacDonalds
A doona is a blanket
and a bungalo is an extention of a house.
There will be more later, once I pick up on them, haha.
So about my days, when we get home, I get on the internet cafe and check my e-mail and all that and see what my friends are up to. When I get home dinner is just about ready for the house - the kids love to cook and I've definitly had my share of chinese food this past week - it's yummy and very filling - I love it. And if I'm not too tired I'll go out with the boys and enjoy a pint or two at the 6 or 7 local pubs here. They never card here, it's great (not that I would have to worry anyway, but still)
The cable here is boring - it's the same shows everynight, but at least those shows include The Simpsons. And I washed my clothesd the other day, but theres no drier (;-;) so now all my underwear is hanging all over the place, haha. But lucky for me I havbe a whole room to myself because the boys outnumber the girls and they all have to sleep together.
I'm going to see harry potter tonight and I can't wait :) I'll check back in later when something interesting happens. Cheers!
