Rascal boys that climb trees around my apartment and yell my name out the window while I'm sleeping.

Some 5th grade girls.

My good friend, Melissa, and my favorite spot in my town.

PICS:
my new building: i live on the second floor.
new bedroom: pretty simple and cozy.
new market that just opened: total chaos at the grand opening - old grannies stampeding thru the door, babies crying.... this market is a big deal for our village.
my new bike!: kinda a clunker, but cool. usually only old men and little boys ride bikes, but..i couldnt resist.
other stuff in my village: a student at my school and his lil pup, some cottages across the street, and a lil fish from the river nearby.
a mausoleum i visited in turkistan: went on vacation to shymkent.
