Hot is an understatement...

I forgot how hot it can get here..oh my.

It's not even like a sunny kind of hot though..it's like a sticky, humid, smoggy kind of hot. I've been sitting in my aunt's kitchen, playing with her doggies, sweating like crazzy..hahaha. I look like I just took a shower...sick.

It's so nice being back here...

First, because it's so nice to be back with the family. Second, because this is my second home. I come back here...and it's like I never left. Minus people looking older, technology being different..all that, it's like I never left. I can open up the closet and find everything the way we left it. All my toys from when I was little...alll the pictures of me posing like a little diva..still where they always were. Like yesterday, at my grandma's house, I found this teeny little leather jacket. it was seriously like 2 feet big..haha. and it was my DAD's..crazy. My dad wore it, then one of my brothers wore it, then I wore it. It's so great. I always missed this in Canada.

It's a little different this time around though, a lot of things HAVE changed because of the flood that just happened. It's so sad hearing the stories...and it's like such a humbling thing too because it reminds me how blessed I am to be living in North America..like it's nice here, but I couldn't ever live here. Plus, ordering like maids around again...something I could never get used to. It's so weird. I hate having to do it because it's so not the custom in Canada, you know?

There's like two worlds here, there's the world of all the poverty. Like you can drive..and see all these little kids begging for money, yet apparently, a lot of it is a scam and the kids get taken at night and don't really get to keep the money. It's so sad. And then there's the world of the well-off. It's hard to picture how such a wide spectrum of things can live in one small place. It's crazy.

It's so different from where we live.

Anyways, I don't have much time.

But like I said, it's nice being back and spending lots of time with the family. I've missed them.

Hope you guys are having a good break.

<3.

PS. how cold is it there? It was approx. 29 degrees when we landed here..

Like I said, Hot is an understatement - haha.
