So I had this wonderful idea (along with half the volunteers here in Indo) to carve some pumpkins.. First though I needed some knives.. and im thinking.. OK this should cost maybe 50,000 (which is still like 6 bucks..) but no.. I went with my friend to this store behind the market (which sounds bad itself but dont worry.. its not) This guy pulls out all these knives and Im looking at them thinking.. Man.. Shouldnt these be in a case or something? So the guy tells my friend the price and im zoning just thinking about how unsafe it is and she turns to me and tells me that its 3,000 for one knife and I thought I heard her wrong.. I had to ask her twice just to make sure I heard her right.. So yeah.. they were selling decent knives for 33 cents.. I just couldnt help thinking about America and how that just could NOT be possible to sell knives that cheap.. blew my mind..
So Halloween.. I had some candy sent to me from America and I made some
little candy bags for the students.. which turned out pretty cool if I
do say so myself..
So finally I head to school with my big sack of candy.. kinda feeling like santa claus.. HAH.. So I kinda explain what Halloween is about and tell them about trick-or-treating and then.. just to torture them.. I had them come up and in order for them to get the candy they had to say Trick-Or-Treat.. and with their accents.. Man it was funny yet sooo cute at the same time.. I love my english club.. So finally we start carving and honestly.. only pictures can do it justice..
Ok I did not buy this knife and I have no idea where they got it.. but that knife is bigger than the pumpkin..
I left school today with a giant smile on my face.. I love these kids so
much they never cease to make me realize what it is that I am doing
here..
and in four weeks! Im gunna do Thanksgiving stuff.. Hand turkeys anyone? wooooo!
love you all and happy halloween :)
