Today we went to the market to practice buying things. Our lovely trainers got me to buy a papaya and some mangosteens. The vendors laughed when I asked, "Waay ayu?" They gave me discounts and told me to come again. Then I'll be a suki (regular customer).
Today at the market, I decided that meat now repulses me. Add that to the true list of reasons why I'm vegetarian.
So that dog I saw with the "broken leg" the other day? I think it's totally fine. I keep seeing what I think to be the same dog walking around on a normal foot. I'm going to believe that someone just had to pop its ankle back into place. No big deal.
Some cute things about Hiligaynon. For one, in order to denote a smaller size, vowels in words are often changed to "i". The only example I know of so far is that toko (a big lizard) becomes tiki (a small house lizard). A bunch of bananas is sipi sang saging.
Today after class Meg and I went to get massages for PhP 250. That's about $5. It was an hour long and included a sauna and facial. We also got hot tea afterwards.
My host mom still isn't feeling well and I'm starting to worry a little about her. She got a massage today and says she'll be better in the morning.
Other than that, not too much crazy happened today. Oh, and we did get drinks and cake today for lunch care of our trainers.
He's everywhere!
