So cute

And since i couldn't get the video up......

No very funny little film of Xenne

Since i can't get to the relevant page on this blog. But it'll get here someday. Somehow. He was making Sandra and me laugh so much yesterday.

It won't be much today. Somehow have to keep login in every 5 minutes. Quite annoying as usual. And Sandra didn't let me write my blog on the laptop the week either. Sandra had bought some new dvd's and they saw that in the evening. They had to use the laptop since the DVD-player has gone to the teashop.

But she's promised me i can write some this week.

Sandra's sooo busy

Or at least, that is what she says. And after school she doesn't want to go to the internet cafe. So i have almost no opportunity to update my blog... But i can understand her. After all, if it is between choosing the internet cafe and Xenne the choice is pretty obvious. Hopefully Sandra wil have a computer (with internet connection) in her office (which she shares with 2 burmese teachers) and then i can be online a bit more often too. Now i prefer to stay at home and play with Xenne.
Sandra tells me that it is quite a change from last year. The school is very big (relatively). There are at least 9 Primary 4 and 10 Primary 5 classes (she has no idea about the number of classes for the other grades..). But she's slowly adjusting to so vast a school.

Soon more. I'm trying to convince Sandra to turn on the computer in the evening so i can type my 'daily' report and then she only has to upload that when she has a good connection. But she's not really listening yet. I assume that it is because she had to get used to working again (after such a long 'holiday'. Maybe she can be persuaded this week.

A quick visit to Thailand

And not really planned either. Sandra had been trying to contact the international schools ever since we got back from Thailand but to no avail. So on friday she decided to visit them. And bingo, a job. With twice as much pay as at Sandra's last school and less hours. So she's pretty happy about that. She's going to teach english, history and geography to 4th and 5th graders... Mmmmm.

Anyway, so she needed a business visa (the last one was a tourist visa which is only valid for 1 month). After a lot of phonecalls it turned out that we could only get an evening flight on wednesday and an early morning flight on friday (8 am). After which Sandra will rush to to hug Xenne, say hi to KK and, after a quick shower, hurries on towards school and classes....

She hates being in Bangkok with just me and Xenne and KK in Yangon. But it was not doable to take Xenne for such a short period of time. Especially since we were running around all day today arranging our visa, so emergency shopping (for books and such...). It took a while to get the ok from immigration to go and get the visa by ourselves (without Xenne). And we're hoping that we won't run into problems tomorrow morning after all.

Ok. now i will try and upload some pictures from our last time in Thailand
