I am so thankful to have a place to come and recharge after being gone for most of the day. It's also exciting to see this place come together and anticipate who may stop by. Continue to pray that we can provide a place of peace and comfort for existing and new friends here.
Two other things that we have discovered in South East Asia...
One is a pancake with a peanut filling. It's name is Apam Balik. Ihop or Waffle House does not have anything on these. They are good and a large one costs around $.60. Richie these pictures are for you brother! Hope you come back soon and we will split another one.
If you make eye contact with this man you will be convinced that a pancake purchase is needed.
Awesome salesman and cook!
Finished product
Secondly, I was shown this game by some local friends. It originated in South East Asia but I have heard people play it all over the place. I was also told that it's mostly a ladies game, but I am completely okay with playing it. It's called Congkak here, but I am sure it has other names in different parts of the world. It's name comes from shells because that is what they used to play it with. Now it's mostly played with marbles. The object is to get more marbles in your "home circle" than your opponent. I'm bringing it back so get ready to play!
We are making some good friends at local universities that we visit. The people here are so warm and are really easy to talk to. It's been a pleasure to get to know them and I am excited to see where these friendships go from here! Reminder, if you want to receive an email update about more specific things that I cannot share on this blog, please send me an email at dpruitt896@aol.com or dpruitt896@gmail.com and I will add you to the list. If you already are, then no need to send another request.
