Lots to write, not much time.
Responding to comments:
Alyse: Not all the food is as spicy as that curry you and Christy made that one time, but you are getting the right idea. That is really awesome about the Ironman competitions. Really amazing. 10:28:59 is really good, and then looking at his placing 85th out of 989… wow. Just now as I was rereading your comment, I thought it said “Ironchef” (crinkle) that would be pretty cool, if Nathaniel’s brother competed in an Ironchef competition. [note to other readers… I like to put expressions and tones of voice in parentheses sometimes to clarify what I am saying… when I type “crinkle” it refers to when I smile real big and I have all these “crinkly” lines on my face… you know, dimples, lines by my eyes, etc. if you don’t know, oh well… Alyse knows what I am talking about]
Kayla: I love dew little sister… Happy Birthday! Enjoy your summer. I am glad mom is going to send you the blogs… it is always a lot of fun to get mail at camp.
Christy: I am glad you are enjoying blog. No I did not know Finnish is related to Hungarian.
On to the official blogging:
Jumping back in time to tell you a little about previous days. The other day we had what is called “Cowsoy” (once again, probably not spelt that way) it was a beef curry on noodles… I enjoyed it quite a lot, (I don’t believe that food was Lao or Thai… more Indian, but not certain) that night we had one of Miku’s favorites… Macaronis! (he always says it plural like that) It was just a typical Lao food… Macaroni and cheese. (sarcasm).
On the evening of the 28th, I was invited to join Sky and Gate (a girl who was visiting from Thailand… her name sounds like the word “gate” but you need to “swallow the T” as Jay described it.) anyhow, we were invited to go over to the school house (it’s a normal house where they have their Finnish school… I think the teachers live there) for a party. The rest of the people were girls (the teachers, Sky’s girl classmates, and some female Lao friends) but I thought it would be nice to do things with other people (instead of just sitting around Jay’s house) So we went and watched an Indian Movie called “Bride and Prejudice” before I watched the movie, Sky asked if I had ever seen an Indian movie. I told her no, and after thinking for a moment about the English word she said. “They are very…. Hyper.” Having now watched one, I would agree with her. It was an interesting movie… to say the least. Really the only thing that made the movie worth watching was that it was based on Pride and Prejudice, and several parts were very much like the real movie… It was interesting looking for the similarities.
In the middle of the movie it started to thunder and there were flashes of lightning outside, and then the power went out. We lit candles and everyone socialized for a while… until the power came back on. The storm was magnificent. It was the very first time it had rained this year. Lots of lightening, and very loud thunder, and strong winds. I enjoyed standing by the window because it was cooler there, and I could watch the lightening light up the yard. It looked like a miniature hurricane outside. That rain marked the beginning of the rainy season. Now it will rain just about every day… but not like it did that day… more of a gentle rain for only a short time. (does that answer your question Alyse?)
Sunday I woke up and the temperature was quite reasonable. The rain had cooled it off quite a lot.
I have officially discovered that the time here is 12 hours forwards from Central Time. I was talking with Matt Lybeck on messenger and found out that it is 11:30 PM on May 30th there, and 11:30 AM on May 31st here. Speaking of messenger, the other day I mentioned I have Yahoo messenger on my computer… well this other computer has MSN messenger and so if I use this computer, I can speak with those of you who have accounts with that messenger. My email is why_john@hotmail.com
I must go, we have lunch at someones house, and then we leave to go to Thailand today. (change of plans… we originally planned to go tomorrow.
Bye,
Luke

I agree. Nathaniel's brother should compete on Iron Chef. Does he know how to cook?
I discovered the time thing yesterday; I caught a tiny portion of the Miss Universe pageant because it was in Thailand yesterday, and they mentioned they were exactly 12 hours ahead.
Do you know how to swallow your Ts? If you do, you'll have to teach me when you get home.

Matt is single, so I assume he has to cook. Hey, can you get some recipes for us to try out when you come back?
Did the earthquake in Japan affect you all, did you feel it? How did the December tsunami affect where Jay lives?
The rain sounds lovely and the thunderstorm. Do the windows have glass? Do the houses have wide porches? What is the temperature usually?
I have heard of "Bride and Prejudice", perhaps from Christy, the lead female was the link I believe. But I have wanted to see it.
Thank you for the time you do give to your blog. I really enjoy hearing about what you are doing. I've shared it with my folks and theyhave been enjoying too. It is well worth it.
One more comment on Matt and the Ironman. They have categories by gender and age group, and if the ones in his group above him are not going to Hawaii in the fall, then he can qualify. He was 18th in his category, Male 30-34.

Great Blogging Luke! I am really enjoying keeping up with how you are doing via this medium. Your writing is so much fun to read.
A comment on swallowing T:
If you need some coaching on swallowing T. I have become very adept at doing this ever since I quit drinking so much coffee. You too could become a T swallowing expert if you follow these three easy steps.
1st. Bring cup up to mouth and tip slightly.
2nd. Allow the liquid to pass into your mouth. CAUTION: The beverage you are about to consume may be hot. Don't burn yourself.
3rd. Close mouth and make a "swallowing action" with your mouth and throat. This will cause the T to be swallowed.
Congradulations! You have just successfully swallowed T.
Note: My favorite T swallowing is done involving Chai. However, I find Green, Herbal, and Black quite enjoyable too.
Any time I can be of assistance I will be here for you.
