Well we still haven't moved into school as yet. A bit frustrating, but at least I have gotten some work done. And by doing so my days are going faster.
I wrote about having to walk almost an hour to the nearest shopping mall. Yes far I know, but even further coming back with groceries. This shopping mall is called RB Mart. So when I was at the office and looked out the window I saw the letters BR and some Chinese writing on a building a block from where we live. Only to find out that it is also a RB Mart, but just a small supermarket. Well when I went there it sold the basics, but no milk or butter, but hey, it saves us walking one hour to the other one.
Today I went out with Helen, my Principal, for lunch. No, she didn't take me, I had to buy my own. But we went to a Bakery / Pizza shop called YUMMY. And guess what, there goodies are absolutely YUMMY. I will post pictures of the goodies tomorrow, but I did order two pizzas for us for dinner. Yum Yum. Very delicious. I will definitely be going there again. And while driving to YUMMY, I passed an English bakery that makes pies. OOOOOH, I will have to go past to see if it is going to be on my list to shop there. But will have to take the bus or a taxi to get there as its quite far to walk.
We also received our water dispenser today. Too cute. It fits nicely on the dining room table and it gives you either cold or boiling hot. You don't even have to boil the water in a kettle for coffee. Too convenient.
Will post some more later when there is more exciting news.

This is the box that the pizzas come in, fancy even to the packaging.

Glad you're getting more settled at last. Its really frustrating when you get to a new country to try and find where everything is and for you an added frustration with the language barrier. Very proud of you guys xxx
