Jacob: Yesterday we stayed at home for awhile and I practiced singing for the concert. We went to a shadow puppet show and I saw Kevin there. The best parts were the broken bridge, the boxer and the boxer and the audience. They spoke in English as the puppeteer was Australian. It was Alexander’s cousin’s birthday and we had lots of different foods for dinner and a birthday cake for dinner. It was a chocolate cake.

For dinner our maid made us a big platter of vegetables, pork and beef and rice. We also ate some fruit and watched Scooby Doo 2 in Chinese so I had to guess what they were saying!
