Naw Blay's wedding.

The night before the wedding Lisa, the kids and I went and stayed at Jack and Niamh's house. Naw Blay and Jack Tummy's family were staying at Jack and Niamh's. There were over 20 people staying because Jack's dad runs a boarding house in Mae La refugee camp, a lot of students came to the wedding with them,
We ate, played cards, watched a movie etc. It was really lovely.

In the morning, we ate loads of toast (yummy!). Everyone got ready in their Karen outfits.
This is MayMay and Ailsa. I helped with the makeup for a lot of the girls. These are some of Jack's Dad's boarders.

The ring bearer's didn't have enough string to tie the rings so Naw Blay cut string from May May's outfit. Dangerously close to her neck.

Look at Niamh's expression!

Wee Jack.

Ailsa running about.

All the kids got really bored. The ceremony lasted about 2 hours.

Lots of singing. This is Moo Moo (Naw Blay and Jack's sister-in-law) singing.

At the end everybody shook hands with Eh Lin and Naw Blay.

And took many photos.

Then we had such yummy food!! I want some now actually, it was soooo yummy.

After, we went back to Jack and Niamh's house. Little Jack and Ailsa played in the paddling pool.

It was such a lovely day! I'm so happy for Naw Blay :)

My New House!

I haven't blogged in agessssssssss! I've been quite busy. Hardly been in my house. On Saturday I went to Naw Blay's wedding and it was lovely. I'll blog about that later.
I tried to blog last night and it was taking over 20 mins to put pics up. I'm at the school today using their wireless and it's a god speed. So I'll be writing the blogs from school.

On the 31st of August I moved into my new house :)
I had to stay in the house all day and wait for deliveries. Fridge, bed and gas stove with canister.

Jack, Ailsa and one of the boarding house students came round to play and watch movies.



This is the rubbish view from the kitchen. It had a really nice view before but now they built a huge wall :(

My (tall) bed came!

This is my kitchen. It's packed with things. I can make anything! Ku Paw (the nursery headteacher) gave me a toaster oven because she never uses it. I've made pizza and cakes in it. It's small though, so everything has to be mini.

Out the back there is a tap. So I didn't bother buying a sink. I've been washing dishes the Burmese way. I have two basins and I fill them with water (one soapy). It's easy and cheap!

The morning after I moved in though, I found a cockroach and a drowned lizard in the water because I forgot to empty it at night. This is the drowned lizard. This is my bed now, all set up. :) It's comfyyy. I have a huge mosquito net to cover it.

Going up the stairs.

My upstairs bathroom.

My house is so huge and I was never going upstairs (except for the shower). So I made the room that faces the football pitch out the front a dressing room. It's got clothes (only some cause I still need to unpack) on a railing and all my makeup.

I'm still unpacking! Bloomin 8 bottles on suntan lotion which are usless in Mae Sot as it's almost always cloudy.

There has been a slight problem with my house. It has cockroaches! Eugh! I have to kill them all the time. I've figured out that if you mop the floor with floor cleaner every day and spray with cockroach spray everywhere then they die a lot better. I still see them, but they're usually dead.

Okay, so that's my house! Sorry it took to long! x
