Three weeks in Kiến An and counting

We survived in Kiến An for three weeks without a microwave, a dryer, a kitchen sink, and a fully working toilet!
We had beef for the first time, and it tasted really good! We got it from Metro (Vietnamese version of Costco), since we got paid and so we went there to load up. It took almost an hour of bus and walking to get there. I also bought a box of Mì Lẩu Thái (instant noodles), spaghetti, fish sauce without MSG, ham, chả lụa, frozen chả giò, juices, coke, and a 50-pak blank CD-R. Our teammates also loaded up on stuff too. We bought so much, we had to call a taxi to take us back. We're all set for a while.
This morning, power went out from 7am to about 10:30am. I was teaching from 6:30am to 11:30am. It was so hot and one girl got really sick (I think she passed out) and some students had to carry her to the school health center. Ruth had to use the CD player in class, so a student had to run outside to buy batteries.
