So I am going to the wedding on Sunday in Colombo which will be really cool and I am getting 2 saris made by Pearl's tailor, one to wear to the wedding and the other for New Years (April 12 & 13). I am still loving it here but I am hoping Andy will come and visit me because I could use some Canadian interaction. I am good friends with the girls at work but at night I have nothing to do because they are all home cooking and cleaning! Pearl keeps saying she is going to teach me to cook but she is always to busy cooking for others to teach.
Nilu's food seems to be getting hotter every time so either she is easing me in or my tastebuds are getting angrier. It's funny how Nilu and Pearl both send me a lunch everyday, ahah, even if I try to resist! I just can't get over the fact that you are a child until you marry. Pearl's daughters room is covered with cartoon characters but she is a married adult! Pearl told me the other day she thinks parents in Canada are bad for not caring about their children at a certain age- she can't believe the parents wouldn't give their daughter a dowry and their son a house!
I made some noodles last night to get a break from the rice but I am kind of craving something a little further from a starchy substance so I might go to a tourist hotel after work one of these nights. It's interesting how different it is to travel as a tourist, a backpacker, and then a volunteer. This is definitely my style! You get all the luxuries- rides, a place to stay, etc. of a tourist but all the inside knowledge of a real traveller.
Anyway, I'm getting in a good habit of doing yoga and now that I am familiar with the area I think I will see if I can take some classes.

Pretty sure I would die if I had to eat the food there. If you think your taste buds are mad, I can't imagine mine! haha.
