Also imagine how cool it is since all the kids and teachers are in national dress and they've brought in food vendors and musicians. Imagine also that another mom tells Angie to skip language school and come to the activities because the language school "totally understands". Remember, too, that we went to EVERYTHING at school in KY.
Now picture in your mind as we are saying, "John is a solider." For the 100th time the looks Angie is giving me since I insisted on going to school (but gave her the freedom to skip if she wanted).
NOW to get the full picture imagine us going over for our 20 minute tea break and ordering some delicious sate (or satay) and it NOT GETTING DONE in time for us to eat it before needing to be back at school. Imagine how sweet she was looking at me!! HAHA! She wasn't bad....but she wanted to be.
This is the sate (satay) guy. Chicken or beef or mutton (read: goat) on a stick and cooked over charcoal. We've had chicken and I've had goat. This would be our first beef...if it had finished in time :-(!
The fried rice guy is a national hero. 99.9% of people love fried rice. Its everywhere.

The food looks great! And the decor, too. Did you all inject some N.A. culture? Exactly what cultures were represented? Are there different ones at the school? I'm so dumb!
It is so easy for me to sit in our office and tell you how amazing we think you are and how we support you in all the ways you have requested... but, heck, it is true. And goodness knows I am not the person to give you advice on the challenges you face but I know you know that physical and health issues are not the only difficult things in front of you. The relationship issues will come and go and must be faced just like the others. We love you guys and our thoughts are with you every day. Thanks for letting us be a very small part of your journey.
I'm just wondering... What is the purpose of the fan sitting right on the grill?
The fan keeps the coals red hot. Everywhere people are fanning their grills....maybe they know something we don't.
At the school they have our country, America, Korea, Australia, and a number of European countries. Caleb even has a South American in his class. Not much NA culture except for the white kids!
