Ok, sorry for not updating for a long time. I got lazy, then I traveled to Ho Chi Minh City and then I got sick for a week, so those are my excuses. Other than being sick all this week, everything has been really good. I am getting more settled in to life in Vietnam and Tra Vinh.

Class is still going well, I like teaching, and my student's try hard (most the time). About two weeks ago, Anh-Thu (other volunteer) and I had lunch with our friend Giang (pronounced like Yang). Giang took us to the market and bought tons of food and then prepared it in my apartment. Vietnamese girls can really cook, and they are not afraid to get their hands dirty. I can't imagine a typical American girl pulling the organs out of a chicken, but I am sure there are a few that would. Anyway, the meal was delicious.

Last weekend I went to Ho Chi Minh City to get my Western food fix. I ate pizza, burgers, omelet's, it was great after all Vietnamese food for 6 weeks or so. I really like the food here in Tra Vinh, but I am used to more of a variety, so it was a nice change in HCMC. I also got to see some friends that are volunteering in other cities in Vietnam, so it was a really nice weekend. I left on Monday, the same morning I started feeling sick. I was sick all week with a cold, or flu or something. I didn't go to the doctor, mainly because I don't want to be quarantined for fear of Swine flu. So yea, I am finally feeling a little better. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to function normally.

All else is well. Apparently there is a German volunteer in town and a Spanish volunteer is coming this weekend, so it will be nice to meet some other young people. Sorry this is a boring entry, but I have been sick for a week, I will try to get into trouble this week so I have something interesting to write about next time.
