Life in General

So I thought that I would just let you know how life is in general...things that I find interesting and the weather and stuff...or schtuff as Dr. K would say.

The weather here in Nuwaraeliya is not as warm as you might think. We are 7000 ft above sea level so it is not blistering hot. It is warm though. I did get a sunburn the other day. The sun is definitely more intense here because we are so far up. It has only rained a few times since being here.

Oh one excellent thing about being here is that there isn't the wind that there is Saskatchewan!! Mostly light, warm breezes.

The people are really friendly. They laugh at my frog umbrella! Frog in Sinhalese is gimbha.

Matt and Rebecca have nannies to look after their children while they are at the school. It took me a while to get used to having them in the house while I was there. They call me sister which I am gathering to be a general greeting here.

When we want to agree to something or acknowledge a "yes" we nod our heads up and down, here they do a kind of head-bob like the bobble head dolls that people put in their cars! It is really hard to break the habit of nodding my head up and down. I guess I'll give myself a break seeing as I've only been here for a week.

Well I'll write more as I can. Take care all. Miss you guys.
