First Time in a Philipino Church...

Forgot to mention yesterday (Saturday) that I got my haircut. What a nice experience compared to the haircuts I get in Canada. Walked in, and they gave me a magazine for me to show them how I wanted it cut. Then they wash your hair. Shampoo and lather. You get a nice head massage as they lather the shampoo. Then a rinse. Repeat. Repeat. Then back to the chair to get my hair cut. Then back to the sink to rinse off my hair. Then back to the chair for some more cutting. Probably took about 30-40 minutes in total. All for 3 bucks. Today I spent the morning and afternoon working, then left at 4 with Carrie to go to a Philipino church. Took the bus there. The church actually takes place in someone's house. There were about 20 Philipino people there. At least 3 of them were missionaries. Very friendly people, and their English is pretty much just as good as mine. Very nice to go and be able to communicate with other Asian people without having to speak slow and enunciate. I even talked Canadian politics with one of them. After the service we had a meal with eachother. I hope to go there everyother week or so. Can't go every week because there is a mandatory foreign staff service everyother week. It's about 10 here and I'm done working for the day, so I think I might head home, do a bit of reading, have a neocitron (some kind person put it in my mailbox), then get to bed on time.
