Christmas Decorating

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 by Rocky

I wanted to buy some Christmas lights and some house decorations and instead of going to some big store, like I would back home, I was walking down the road of a gigantic market. The best I can describe this market as is like a flee market but…

Reading The Book

Monday, November 9th, 2009 by Rocky

John had heard about God and the Bible but had not read it, but he was really interested in learning more about it. I told him that we where going to have some friends over to study it and asked him if he was interested and he replayed that he would love to.

Playing Mahjong and Drinking Tea

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009 by Rocky

Clink, clink goes the sound of Mahjong tiles as I sit in a wicker chair sipping green tea. I feel like I really am getting in touch with the culture here and I was still marveling at the conversation I just had. We where just starting to play Mahjong again after taking a break to [...]

A Walk Down The Street

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 by Rocky

I look and I saw around me lots of people. Some drinking tea, others eating noodles, others selling fruit or any number of other things.
