All going well here at Shangri-La. I have been spending every day there so far. All the children are as full of life and fun and games as ever.
Some photos of our boat trip the other day... they all remembered their expedition last Christmas and very excited to hear we would do the same again!
We took lots of sweets brought from Europe (mainly Switzerland - thank you Peter and Caroline!), they got the hang of bubble gum very quickly!
...and stopped on the other side of the lake for a tiger hunt in the jungle and found some monkeys up a tree...
Here were some dancers being filmed in the park. The children were inspired after all their dancing classes!
Krishna's daughter Manasee, wearing her new pink top from UK.
In the park
Shangri-La dog Milo - with as much energy as all the children put together! He spent most of his time running around with a ball or shuttle cocks in his mouth and all the children chasing after...
Krishna's wife Bishnu, less than 2 weeks now until their second baby arrives! (I am cutting her hair... not sure why Benjamin looks so worried)
Sita sporting new kitchen in the extension. Looking hopeful we will be able to rent both floors and already making plans for the 2 children (currently living on street 2 hours drive from here) we hope to take on as soon as it is finished!
Micho! Fruit salad. The night before I bought ingredients for an "English" dinner but got too ill with some stomach bug (I'm not sure where it came from but has to be expected sometime and shouldn't last long) by the time it was time to cook I had to lie on a bench and try to explain to Krishna how to mash potato with boiled milk and yak cheese (and what we thought was butter but turned out to be something else), boil the peas alone (foreign concept) which somehow turned into a curry, and fry the (buffalow) sausages. The fatty smell made me feel even sicker and had to rush out several times to be sick in the garden but I hope the children enjoyed it...Back to the fruit salad:

All for now, looking forward to updating you on the next few days adventures!Lots of love, and hope you are all well xxx
