Girls Just Wanna Have FUN!

We had our friends over last weekend for an all-out girls night!The girls were so excited to come over, b/c they said they'd only seen about slumber parties in the movies. So we kicked of the night with pizza and cupcakes!Then went into spa mode!Painting our nails!Foot scrubs!Games!And facemasks!

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

but a woman who fears her Maker is to be praised.

Look what I found!

A few days ago I was running all around the city trying to help a friend. We came across this huge market that caught my eye b/c there were huge pool floats hanging outside (that's a rarity here). So we stopped in just to have look, and some shoes hanging up on the wall drew my attention that way. As I looked over the cheap flip-flops hanging there, I had a big surprise. Right in the smack dab middle of the shoes were a pair of FLORIDA GATOR flip-flops! (Okay this is even more rare b/c collegiate sports gear just doesn't exist here, and there was nothing else collegiate in this little store). So I ripped them off the wall, put them on, walked down the entire hallway of the market and back again, and couldn't believe they were a PERFECT fit! (and good quality) The even bigger shocker came when I asked the price- I felt like I was stealing when he only made me pay around 2 bucks for them!

Duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-duh... Go GATORS!

Weekend Wanderings

This past weekend the weather was really nice, so we went for a climb up to this pagoda with some friends.

It was a little overcast but the view was pretty spectacular along the way.So many stairs!And this precious punkin' was a special blessing when we reached the top!Cat and I.Our district of the city.Luke helped us climb up onto the roof of a building, and I managed to get up and back down again safely in flip-flops. :)Finally heading back down the mountain!We finished out the day with our landlord eating Hot Pot, picnic style, on the side of a mountain.

Photo Shoot :)

Our teacher decided it would be a great idea to get all the female foreign students and our teachers together for a photo shoot! So our first assignment was to dress in modern clothes:and our second was to dress in traditional Asian clothes:These are the traditional clothes of 2 different countries in Asia. Our classmates switched clothes with our teachers in this pic:Our beloved teacher:Then Joy, our classmate, and I went around campus and had a lil photo shoot of our own, mainly b/c this was one of the only times I've worn a skirt in EA ;)

Minority Village Pt. 2

We got to tour around the exhibition in style in this buggy!Behold the beauty of the peoples of East Asia:

May all the peoples praise Him!
