Have you ever had so much to say, too much to say, that you are actually speechless? Because there aren't enough words to accurately describe what you want to share? That's how I feel. I am so disconnected from my home life, from the world I am used to that it feels isolating; but then here I am on another level apart from everyone else, that is so exciting and eye-opening all on its own, that no one else can understand!
This week has been very, very long! Everyday in itself is new and brings the unexpected. School is becoming less Work and more Fun, and I no longer dedicate every free moment to lesson plans and talking about school :o) I have a life, outside of the job! Do you know how cool that feels, to move to another country and actually create a new lifestyle there? Where you fill it with new people, people that you care about, and activities that you never even knew existed! Lee and I have been going out almost every night, trying new restaurants or exploring new parts of the city. I have treated myself to a few luxury items: new sandals, and a georgous leopard LeSportsac purse! On Wednesday night, Lee and I joined many of the other Canadian/American teachers here for a night of bowling! It was so much fun to chill with people outside of work, and of course, Lee was the star of the night - bowling a 200 on his first game out!
Next week I give my first tests, and then we have 5 glorious days off! Mid-Autumn Festival replaces Thanksgiving here, and our trip down South to the beaches is booked and highly anticipated! This weekend has been great; Friday night Lee and I went to our hangout (the Canadian Bistro) for dessert; Saturday I worked 6 hours at a special program I'm doing for the next 4 Saturdays, where I basically play songs and games with a large group of 10-year-olds! And then at night we went to a delicious Thai restaurant (finally!! yum!!) and then shopped around the streets where I temporarily lost my helmet :o( I put it down in a store, and didn't realize for about 20 minutes that I had left it there, only to go back and find the store closed!! But lucky for me, Lee and I drove back Sunday morning and retrieved it, and then used our one relaxing day off to go grocery shopping and make a trip to Ikea :o) The internet is down at our dorm right now, and won't be fixed for about 2 weeks (incase some of you are wondering why I haven't been on MSN or E-mailing)!
This Tuesday, before work, Lee and I are joining a friend on a trip to the mountains! I am sooo excited and will tell you all about it afterwards! But for now I'm going to BREAK THE FAST!! Happy Yom Kippur, g'mar hatimah tova (may you be sealed in the book of life) and I will talk to you soon! xox

Hun, although I am not quite there experiencing your daily things with you, I really enjoy reading your blog- and don't you ever leave me out on the details of your life! Otherwise I'd be disconnected from you!!!!!!!!!!! I can somewhat relate to what you're going thru. Going away and finding so much more out there than you expected before you left is so exciting! Hehehe the tables have turned- you are now the one that goes out every night! haha!!!
Sending you and Lee my love.
