MEMORIES FROM YESTERDAY

Wow that was a really long time to be without internet. finally, we got to spend some time at the mall trying to buy what we really needed, but today we actually got to hang out. and while my friend's family are eating, i came to the internet café.

I don't think i'm really ready to reflect on the poverty that exists here. being in the middle of it is tough and saying that i'm lucky is an understatement. let me give it a little more thought.

I and my friend are homesick. this is admittedly so, but i really assumed it would happen. we still have a week left up in this island, but maybe it will go by fast.

We've spent the last couple of days here. they really are good people here and they are very kind to us. this has actually been the most relaxing because we've been running from place to place like maniacs. also, this area doesn't seem to be as hot, hustling and bustling with traffic and smog and this is a little more slow paced. I don't even get me started on the province.

I miss my city. I haven't gotten a hold of the guy that is watching our house and i'm scared he took our big screen tv and left the country. by now, my dog would have eaten all of my furniture and maybe everything in our cabinets.

We went to the market yesterday . and all the guys went to the city today. which is the cockfights. they went already yesterday, but today is supposed to be the big day for it with lots of fights. they make it sound so enjoyable, but i can't handle it. even if they are just chickens. the animal lover in me really can't approve it. not that i'm going to change the lifestyle of an entire island people who think that fighting animals is a sport.

Well, it's irritating me to be on this keyboard in the internet cafe because they keys keep sticking.
