Hope you have been enjoying the blog. I've enjoyed making it and I've found some websites that make books out of blogs so I know this will be a great keepsake for our family as well. To mark the one month, I thought I'd list a few funny, embarrassing, or interesting things that have happened since arriving here:
1. Unintentionally ordered eggplant on our first pizza delivery order (the girls were not pleased!)
2. Wrecked my bicycle in front of the school after Amanda wrecked right in front of me (we were both fine!)
3. Used what I thought was "extra lean" ground beef in a recipe. Later I did the actual translation and it was "extra cheap"...Yikes!!
4. The girls and I have all almost been hit by a bicycle while walking. It truly is a separate lane of traffic you have to be aware of at all times!!
5. Thought I clearly ordered fish and chips (off of an English menu) and somehow ended up with an interesting looking fish soup.
6. Had a great time at the Heineken Experience as my first group outing with some parents from the International School!
7. Surprisingly have not killed my engine while driving a stick for the first time in 20 years.
8. Had a hard time finding brown sugar - took a wild guess and picked the right thing.
9. Have had more family dinners together in one month than we probably have had in the last two years combined. :)
10. Have met interesting people from all over the world.
I look forward to your posts keep it up. Think I will wait until you get better at translations though before we visit.
