Hello, I am sorry I have been so terrible about all this blogging stuff. I started off so well, but have since struggled. It is hard to come up with stuff to write. Let's see..... since the last time, we have travelled to Guam. It was a lot of fun. We did some dolphin watching, parasailing, sea kayaking, danced in a polynesian fire show, beach laying, and some more beach laying. We enjoyed some different western foods(TACO BELL!!!) as well as did some grocery shopping(taco seasoning, chex mix, cavendars, shake&bake, hamburger helper, and so much more.) MMMMM-MMMM. We rented a car while there and we did some touring of the war sites. So much history there from the world wars. The people there were super nice and it is flooded with Japanese tourists. Some things we wanted to do we just decided weren't worth it due to the tourist trap prices they charge, and get from the Japan tour groups. One excursion was a tropical fruit farm tour and when we asked them what we get for 20 bucks, they said they take you on a tram around the farm. You can't get out, you can't sample the fruit, nothing exciting there. Maybe it is because we have both seen many many farms in our life.

Last night we went to a charity auction. There is an orphanage that a bunch of foreigners work with just doing different activities and teaching English a couple Saturdays a month. In fact, they all go to my school. They auctioned off 16 guys and girls then did a "Dating Game" type show. It was good fun and over 3,000,000won($3,000) was raised for the orphanage. A lot of money that is raised through us foreigners is going to pay for university tuition for some of the children when the time comes.
