SEC East Champs!!!

Yay Dawgs! I was beginning to think they were gonna give up on me, but that just shows I had little faith! Now, what should I really tell you about? Perhaps my weekend home with a friend of mine...quite an adventure. I'll just say I've never been so cold in my life. While my friend's family had heat in their apartment, they simply won't use it until the dead of winter, and well, it's not there yet I guess, but it sure felt like it. I waddled around their house all weekend while wearing three pairs of socks, one t-shirt, two long-sleeve shirts, a sweatshirt and a fleece all at once, yet had no relief from how cold I felt. Regardless of that, it was a fun weekend. I travelled to a town that has the second largest Buddha in this country, and it was pretty big! It was really sad though to see so many people bow and pray to just an object idol. This old woman told me if I didn't pray to him that my wishes wouldn't come true, but somehow I think it's going to be ok if they don't. We were in the car for a LONG time on Saturday. I was thinking this town would only be 30-45 minutes away from my friend's home...until she informed me that the town is around 3 hours away. Yeesh. 6 hours to see a fat guy carved into a rock while her dad did some work nearby. There's nothing like having mutton soup at 8 AM either. I really can't say that it's the best meal to start the day, but I suppose they think so. Whatever works for them. All in all, I lived the lifestyle of the culture on my sleeve for the weekend. It looks better in hindsight, especially now that I'm warm!
