My first plan-free weekend!

Today marks the first day we've had free since we arrived. It also marks 1.5months since I finished work in Brisbane. It ALSO marks 2 days til I start my new job.

SCARY! I know they're all lovely, but looking at my schedule for the next year, I don't think I'll have much time to do anything other than work.

Last night I went to bed at 8:30pm. There was a party on that I wanted to go to. It's a real hassle to get anywhere at night here. You can't walk out alone, and you're not suppose to catch a taxi alone - so how do you get anywhere? You've got to have others in on the deal. And I don't have any good enough friends to say 'if you come with me tonight, I'll go to the next party you want to go to'. Nevermind, I'm not far off it - we finally have time to ourselves and I can start sorting myself out.

Yesterday was one of those days. I needed some hiking boots, some comfy everyday shoes, tea towels, towels, bowls and of course some new earrings. I was actually looking for a sewing machine and definitely did not find one.

The plans for this weekend: making pancakes for breakfast and leftovers to take for morning tea (no muesli bars in the Mong). Heading off to horseriding in the steppes at 10am. Spend the evening reading documents for work. Tomorrow I will be organising my wardrobe for work, reading some work documents, reading some journal articles for work and making some lunch for work.

Great video! i love your purchases - especially the first earrings and the green dress! How much is stuff?

Sorry. I thought I mentioned prices. Will endeavour to post them forever more. But basically, everything is same same price as in Australia - at the markets things are probably half the price as shops.
