'It was a graveyard smash....'
October!
So! Here are the highlights for the rest of October!
Lot’s of foreigners have been coming through my soum lately! It’s nice to meet new people and speak in English! I traded deels with a Fulbright Scholar!
Had my friends Tumee and Shagai come over to my ger for dinner. I made spaghetti with ground beef. They didn’t like it! Oh well. I made carrot cake for dessert and they loved it.
My counterpart Otgoo got married and I went to both of her weddings. She had one in the aimag center and one in our soum. Lot’s of potato salad was eaten. Up to two metric tons now. :)
Nyamaa and I invaded the school kitchen and made 2 huge pizzas using the school’s oven. Had friends come and we devoured the pizzas like crazed animals.
As I mentioned earlier, I met some cool Mercy Corps volunteers and I got them addicted to Veronica Mars. So when they drove through my soum on the way to the aimag, they brought me ‘Knocked Up’ to trade for Veronica Mars for the week. So awesome. Loving the sense of community out east lately! :)
Had a girls movie marathon night so we could all watch ‘Knocked up’ and other new movies I acquired. When we were watching ‘An Inconvient Truth’ and Nyamaa saw that Florida would be completely underwater if Greenland melted, she said that it was ok because I would always have a home in land-locked Mongolia. Awww… Lot’s of warm fuzzies. :)
I taught my students ‘eeny, meeny, miiny, mo’. They remember the whole thing! They can’t tell my how old they are….but they got ‘catch a tiger by it’s toe’ down!
Had a HUGE Halloween party for all the 8th-11th graders. It was awesome. They decorations were…..creative and the costumes were awesome/hilarious. I will update pictures soon! I promise!
November!
Went to Dornod for the annual Peace Corps Volunteer Halloween party. ‘Twas awesome. A little more mellow than last year, but then again….Sukhbaatar rules and it’s hard to top the party we had last year! :)
Spent our school vacation working with students to prepare them for the English Olympics.
I just finished a seminar for the English teachers of our aimag. Feeling very productive.
We find out the results of the English Olympics today! The winners get to go to America! 3 of our students were in the top 30 before the Speaking portion of the test....so keep your fingers crossed!
Yeah.
So.
I think that’s it for now! Will updated photos soon!

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
