We have a new kitten! She just sort of showed up a couple weeks ago. Since she was a stray we took her in. She’s cute and pretty healthy for a stray. She has little white feet, so we’ve named her “Sokkie” which means something like “little sock” in Dutch. It’s pronounced “soakie”. I also like this name because in Lao, “Sok” means “search for” and she was searching for a home.
Maybe it seems to you like I keep getting new cats and kittens? Well you’re right, but currently we only have one cat. It seems that cats in Laos, and especially kittens, are quite unpredictable. (more…)

Okay, it seems I jumped the gun yesterday . . . it isn’t the rainy season yet. James told me this soon after I posted yesterday, and it was confirmed when I asked a friend of ours who has been living in SE asia for 30 years. He said in Thailand, they call this “the mango rains” – something about the mango trees needing a little rain at this time of year. So during February and March, it might rain occaisionally, but it’s not really the rainy season. How silly of me! I guess I’m still learning since I’ve only been here for the start of 1 rainy season!

This week I attended a training for English teachers. That’s why I haven’t posted in a long time! It was a good class and fun too. I was the only non-Lao student, so that was a new (and good) experience! It was one week intensive course, so I’m done now and should be back to cooking and posting soon!
