I think about khao piak, Lao soft noodles in a broth thickened with tapoica and topped with fried pork, everyday. It would really help me with this winter weather. I have found ramen to be a reasonable substitute. I have managed cook sticky rice quite perfectly now though- so that's pretty good!
My house mates from Laos and some other friends that went to Laos with came to visit Sydney for a debrief session. I hardly got to see them at all and I was temporarily depressed by how busy Sydney is and hard to get around! Oh well. I am getting more back into the Sydney life again- I've started catching up with old friends and appreciating some of Sydney's charms again. I do have moments where I think I'm back into the life but then for some reason get sad about missing my friends or the Sydney life being so rushed. I am a bit bummed that I haven't had the chance to ride by bike much, or not being able to exercise after work because it's so cold and dark!
Good news though, a couple of people from my Lao office are visiting Australia on a study tour. They are learning about disability here. They might find that there are heaps of challenges here too! I really look forward to seeing them.
