Technical Difficulties

Walking at sunrise is a good way to start a day. Temperatures were a little cooler than they have been for a while so it was really quite pleasant. Then of course there were the interesting things to see. This pup was much more pleasant sleeping curled up next to the recycle bag than he was last week thinking we were invading his park.

We have noticed the water spigots are a simple PVC pipe with no couplers. They simply slide the end of a tubing hose snuggly over the end of the pipe.

There were less venders in the park today, but this one had a nice pice of fresh ginger next to the basin of dried fish, and the woman selling peanuts. And the scissors? This is the sign for a beauty salon!

Today was pretty busy at the office. We had our first Asia Area Self-Reliance Missionary internet meeting this morning.  We were being introduced as the area communications couple, so we were prepared with a power-point presentation and ready to host the meeting. Then we had technical difficulties and the system would not let us connect with our laptop. We talked with Chad and let him know we were working on connecting, so he started without us.

We finally used a different computer and borrowed a camera and speaker/mike and were able to get connected. It was a good thing we sent Chad a copy of the slides so he was able to share the presentation as we gave our information. Then just as we were to the last slide we lost our connection. We disconnected and signed in again, and found they had gone on without us. We will run a test before the next meeting.
