Weekends

Yesterday is two weeks in Darkhan. This feels like the first weekend we've had in quite a while.
We're back in our apartment after 10 days in a home-stay with a Mongolian family. They took good care of us, supplied a steady of diet of the Mongolian milk tea which is music to Jeremy's mouth - and candy for the girls which was the same for them. Now we are having to cook for ourselves while we set up a kitchen and whole household. It's more work, but we need to do it sometime before the homework from language school gets more and more intense.

Last night we did get to watch a DVD, first one for the girls, them after they finally fell asleep, one we got not a few laughs out of.

Then today was spent talking to grandmas on the phone and cleaning and setting up the house, unpacking all our gear. Tonight we ran our for burgers and fries. The burgers here are kind of breaded and come with cucumbers and ketchup. All told their not bad. And the fries are quite good. Tomorrow is church and maybe try to pick up some household gear at the market. Then we'll have to hit the homework again, sometime when the kids are asleep or on handsfree mode.

So that's it for our first full weekend in Mongolia.
