I just gained a day. And when you’re desperate to go home, that’s disheartening. I was quite sure today was Monday the 21st but alas it is not. So we still have a few days stuck in this village with not much to do. I’m quite sure the boys will be thrilled when we leave, but they are doing well playing with the toys here. Whenever we do go outside they want to go back in. There are some cool cars to drive around the house, so that helps. The house’s owner, Jack’s cousin, returned tonight with his wife and two-year-old. They are very nice – the don’t mind us staying in their room with the AC. The boy is rather hyper, which explains why all the toys are broken. We’ll see how the boys get along with him –so far they are not too keen and if the boy doesn’t want them playing with his toys that’ll make these few days even more excruciating. At least annoying aunt left today, after sharing her philosophies on giving the boys milk every time they cry at night (kids drink a lot of milk here), and after giving them each 200 Yuan for her face.
I know I am complaining and criticizing a lot – it’s just challenging. But I do know people are going out of their way to do what they think is right and I try to understand their point of view even if to me it’s simple.
