Today we have a movie show at school , the first of many more to come .

I’ve been wanting to do them for some time but couldn’t afford the projector and didn’t have the space . Now that I have both ,it’s SHOWTIME  

The kids wanted something that had ” action” in it . I wanted somethng that would include a bit of history and geography . So we settled on ” Gladiator” with Russell Crowe .

 I give a little lecture with a a slide show on Romans blah blah blah …..before it begins and there will be a  quiz afterwards with the winners getting  little prizes i.e. chocolate chip cookies.

Mandalay , at the moment, after no rain and searing heat for the past two months is now cool because of a persistant drizzle. The roads are in their usual state of disrepair. Electricity is supplied a litle bit more than usual, flickering on and off all through the day and night.

I am a football fan without a game to watch.

Well not exactly, just no EPl games to watch I mean , I did watch Thailand vs. Australia in the AFC competition last night ,but it was a no-brainer. 3-0 win to Australia. With the likes of Cahill ,Viduka and Kewell all lining up for shots at the Thai goal the result was a rather foregone conclusion even before the match started. But the Thais did hold out for about 30minutes before the goal and only went ragged in the last 15 minutes of play. Their right winger looked good .

I guess I could’ve  watched  the Copa America games too but being up that late at night ain’t easy with a full-time  job and some. 

I can’t wait for August 5 . That’s when ManU go up against Chelsea in the Community Shield . ManU won the Premiership last year . So my readers , do you think that they could do it again ? 

Anyways I am twiddling my thumbs on Saturday and Sunday evenings with this great hole in my chest.

I guess I need my weekly footie fix real bad.

Sorry that I haven’t been able to write for some time because I have been very busy. Well I was is YGN for 24 hours going through the hassle of  applying for a passport. Weather was very humid there  . Mandalay has not seen rain for some time now. Still hot . I’d say 35-39 C.

An American friend of mine from  Hawaii , Dean got married to a Burmese girl,Mie Mie at the KyanKin monastery ,traditional style. Very nice wedding and was very impressed with him ,wearing the traditional white Burmese jacket and longyi.

Lots of my students are off to Singapore this month for their studies. The world is certainly becoming a much smaller place.

And surprise !surprise ! we have had regular electricity for 3 days at my house( except for a-two-hour break ) although that doesn’t apply to all the neighborhoods in this town. 

My wife left me with the school and kids and went off for a week traisping around Thailand . She needed the break I guess. But has come back to nag me now

And I have made myself go to a gym.

Yes after eating all that barbeque and not realy avoiding beer I have put on some pounds . Now I will lose some for a change . My buddies say “fat chance of that happening”. 

Well ,for all you students, here’s  a good site   www.englishclub.com.   CHECK IT OUT ! 

And to all my students out here have fun ! and study hard !
