Fun in town

So, yea I love living here more than anywhere else in the world! The other day we went into town to eat and just hang out. At the restaurant my sister met a little cute crippled girl and made good friends with her. She is supposed to come over today. They had some much fun by playing with a baloon!!!
Then, we went and just drove all over town looking at things, new and old. The first pic is of the apt. building that we stayed at the very first time we came here for two weeks. Then there's a pic of me in the truck :o) My dad went into a store to buy a couple of light bulbs and I took some pics of these girls. They were bewildered that they could see themsleves in the back of my camera!!!
We went into the grocery store to buy a few things and about five girls stood there in a line just staring. :o) It's so funny to me that in their culture, that's not offensive. We were at the check out counter for quite a while and they never moved a muscle and they knew that we knew they were there. I love it! I bit my lower lip until it almost bled to keep from chuckeling. Our family has just gotten used to the staring. We make jokes like... Staring at 1oclock 2:30 4 7oclock 8oclock 9:30 and 11. :o) I know that that was horrible grammer.. kill me! We also say, dont look now but we're being stared out. I forgot the rest. In town my dad and I were waiting for someone to get their bike fixed and we were outside. We played a game to see how many times people turned back around to look. Our highest number was, I think, six. :o)
Then, my favorite, the new restaurant to eat ice cream. It's ok american food.
My dad took us to a small place on the top of a hill/mountain (couldnt tell which) and looked over our city. :o)
Home again.... Home again... jiggity jog.
I recently spent the night with my good friend. We talked about big differences in culture. Like, when her boyfriend left they shook hands.To me that's a big wow! In villages, people dont like hugs. :o( I love them!!! Husband and wife even shake hands!!! aaaaaaaa Anyways, we were talking and she said that she wondered why Father put us to live so far apart. I said I didnt know but when she said that I got goose bumps. I've always felt that I was so american which that is my nationality, but wow I don't really know how to express how I felt. I just thought that it was so cool how Father let me have such great friends over here and how cool it is to know that I'm loved all around the globe. Now, I feel like I have apart of this country in me and American. I dunno it's way cool. :o)

All for now,
