Another weekend...

I'm getting used to the life in Bhutan. On Saturday, I was supposed to teach a class. Except for me, nobody showed up and therefore the class didn't take place. I met one of the students on campus and he told me that there was a misunderstanding. One of the queens was on campus - that might as well have been the reason; guess we'll continue this week...
Saturday and Sunday, I was washing cloths, cleaning up my place, cooking, and reading. Sunday morning, I went to the market - myself - using the idea that 'it'll work out'. This time it didn't work out that fast and I was walking around without really buying anything - more to find a face that I know. I'm not speaking any Hindi and therefore buying stuff myself is probably a bad idea considering the fact that prices are rather dynamic... After a bit of walking I met an Assistant Principle at the NIE and he helped out to get my veggis.
On Sunday, a Khuru tournament took place on the NIE campus. Khuru is a bit like dart but it is played on a field and the targets are maybe 20 meters away. Folks around here get amazing shots - and the folks watching the game are standing really close to the target; extremely dangerous. Was fun observing this new game (although from a save distance); I enjoyed it a lot. And finally Sunday night, another cultural performance took place. A lot of new things to explore and to learn about.
