The big 3-7

party guests
Some photos from tonight's birthday party, attended by students from both classes, my co-teacher and the other volunteer teachers from Britain. We had a great time, eating cake, sinh to (recipe to come), jellies, french fries and durian ice cream. Okay, so I had the chocolate ice cream. :) I got three scarves for my hair and Audrey made me a sweet card and a hand-sewn purse (from an extra pillowcase). A very nice birthday, indeed.

P.S. Thanks to Hoang Anh, we were able to find a lovely little tennis raquet/mosquito killer. The thing's electrified and when you use the mosquito instead of a ball, it fries the little sucker. Whee! Who knew it could be so much fun to kill insects? It's Audrey's new favorite activity and I'm happy to encourage her. My legs thank her, too.
