Big baby face hat 1, so big! Meant for a newborn baby fits adult female. Fail.

Take 2 Still inappropriately big for a baby but less so. Maybe fit 4 months or so down the line? Why can't I comprehend the size of an Infants head ?

Hello,
My time of not having a home is coming to an end. I have really enjoyed traveling. I have been so lucky to have this opportunity and hopefully i will have it again. But it has also made me realize whats and who is important to me and all that stuff that blah blah, so i am getting pretty excited about coming home.
I miss just driving in my car and sleeping in my own bed. I also miss having a job that i know i won't have to leave after a few months. I miss my family and friends.
I leave Sept 9th for Australia and then i will leave for home the 17th. I really wish that i could just fly straight from Lao to home but I have some loose ends and lots of clothes to pack and take care of at my uncles. I can't wait to come home i have a feeling it will be like starting a new life. ugh that sounded gross. but its true. And when i get home i will hang out so hard that you'll be like "hey do you mind if you didn't hang out so much because your hanging way too hard and way too much?"
I miss home so much I've been on the computer for two hours now just reading facebook and the same articles over and over. loser. Oh and i miss my clothes! I mean i've been wearing the same very limited number of articles of clothing over and over again since February.
OK, just in case i forget....... im just going to write a list of things that i will always remember the most about my time here. I will probably think of a lot more later.
-squat toilets and byoTP
-motorbikes, sometimes up to 5 people on one
-face masks, think there still gonna get the bird flu?
- condensed milk in tea, coffee, smoothies and on baguettes?
- photocopied books and overpriced second hand books
- the fact that anyone can just rock up on the side walk and set up shop cooking food or selling anything
- people taking pictures of me and practicing there English with me
- learning how to say hello and thank you in every country and not having the confidence to say it to anyone until the day i leave the country
- ordering food that i have no clue what it is, sometimes being really disappointed and but usually working out pretty well
- no concept of waiting in line, single file or in order or arrival
- can buy antibiotics real cheap and over the counter
- drinks in a plastic bag with a straw opposed to a plastic cup
- a strangely large number of people vomiting getting motion sickness on bus rides
- sleeper bus
-tons of fruit stalls and having no clue about what any of the fruits are?
- monks in the internet cafe, on there cell phones and on motorbikes
- haggling
- tuk-tuk's, cyclos
ok thats all that comes to mind as of now

OK the reason for my lack of blogging is that there is internet out here but its very very slow. So slow that it is impossible for it to support any kind or streaming, downloading, flash or sometime even the full loading of a web page. So this makes uploading pictures an almost full day event. But i do often make excuses for myself.

This week is my second and final week working at the olive grove. Jason has been working there for sometime and it was only until recently that they reckoned they had work fit for a person of an inferior sex. But the joke is on them! because next week i should l be working at a power plant. Yes i have traveled to Australia to live the iconic nomadic life of a fruit picker but have begun to take the path ladened with money and dirty men in both mind and physical appearance. But more about that later.

I'm starting to miss my mum very much and also some of you. I hope to make a habit of this in hopes of writing here more regularly, but we will see. But quickly here are some brief interesting observation regarding Australia/Australians

- They love to drink milk, particularly flavored milk. They drink milk here like Americans drink soda. Its a hot summer day been driving in the car all day they buy a flavored milk to quench their aussie thirst.

- They have a fondness for nicknames and abbreviations. Australians seem to love to abbreviate and then add an "O" or the occasional "Y"to to anything or they might just slap it on. Your car registration is now Reg-o, you go outside for a smoke here you go outside for a smoke-o. The first meal of the day is often called breaky.

- There are lots of kangaroos but for real.

- Beer is very expensive, wine is very cheap.

- I have learned to drive a manual car. Though thats not really an observation but more of a boast of myself.

“Eat, eat gold, Christian;” And the more ill-treat and disgrace them with knives made of flint, some cut off an arm, some a shoulder, others a leg, and then roasting it on the embers, eat it, dancing and singing, suspending the bones in their temples, or in the houses of their chiefs, as trophies of victory.”

" NASA wants your opinion in naming the International Space Station’s Node 3 – a connecting module and its cupola – before the two segments travel to space and are installed on the orbiting laboratory. The name should reflect the spirit of exploration and cooperation embodied by the space station, and follow in the tradition set by Node 1- Unity- and Node 2- Harmony".
