sunday thoughts

Hi all,

It's 1233pm here and we're heading to church at 5pm. can't wait to hear english being spoken. just something on my mind that keeps popping up, there are a lot of beggars on the street here, some as young as women in their 20s, some with dogs and some really old men. have read matthew and says to give but some of them are really drunk and i do know where the money is going to end up. been trying to think how they can be helped but i don't know the language or culture or the system here if they are getting help at all. see how in long run...

we've settled on a rough schedule of getting up at 9plus to grab the free breakfast in the hotel, hot chocolate or cafe or tea plus a croissant and part of a baguette then going back to room to pray and reflect then going to ze internet cafe for writing to people then going to 1 place to recce before crashing back at hotel for 1 hour and eating dinner at 7pm-ish. quite funny, eating CHINESE food {bwahahaha} for dinner for 4 out of the 7 days we've been here. but it's good leh surprisingly. btw, the mussel place is called LEON'S, touristy place but HUGE pot of mussels no less. the other times we eats MCDONALD'S!! cheap stuff leh and got menu in english. Miss you guys and miss COD:UO.
