Hey everyone! Sorry, my Mtvu posts are ready, but Hello, which is the program I use to upload pics has been giving me a hard time for the past 2 days. Fingers crossed that it’ll work later today!! Just got in from Mullaitivu a few minutes ago. I’m EXHAUSTED. Up since 05:00 and travelling since 06:00 this morning. As always, check back in the next few days for the transcribed entries of what happened in Mullaitivu. Here’s what happened today. Let T = Transport. T1 (05:45-06:00) : Bicycle Rs.0 – Luckily, 2 of the [...] *Transcribed* We all scream for ice cream! Krishan and I went into town to see if we could rent the local ice cream truck. I told them we would be buying about 100 cones so they agreed. K and I got on our bicycles and the truck followed us to the camp. Once [...] *Transcribed* I brought enough clothes so I wouldn’t have to do laundry (on a rock) this time, so I didn’t get pics of that, but I did get pics of how we have to shower out here. Normally we just take the buckets and bathe by ourselves. If we’re feeling lazy (or exhausted), then [...] *Transcribed* We finally got the pieces on for the roof.

Once this thing is done it’ll be fun to say we actually built this whole thing with our [...] *Transcribed* I’m going to tell you a story. Tell me how you think it should end. Once upon a time, a man (X) fell into a well. Our hero J noticed that in this area a number of people had fallen into wells. J came across X and saw that he had some rope [...] A: I’m not driving…[dumbass]. *Transcribed* We got pulled over for speeding on the way to Vavuniya. Tudor went to sort out the ticket. The fine was Rs.250. To put Rs.250 in perspective: a Big Mac trio (Big Mac, fries and drink) costs Rs.240 here. No wonder people drive recklessly. However, most drivers here [...] That sentence may not make sense to some of you in North America, but it makes perfect sense here. In terms of new [English] words/expressions I’ve picked up, these 4 are probably my favorite (and have all been used in the same sentence)! “Pulling” – Used as “picking up” or “hooking up”. (E.g. [...] I was just thinking about how much I missed my car the other day. I just got some sad news about it from my little sister today. It seems that some monkeys have gone and smashed my passenger side window!! :@ Quite frankly, I think this type of vandalism is done by a bunch of [...] |
