Playing Catsup

Hiii everyone. So I know it seems like I died, but I'm still very much alive. We ran out of internet time at the house and I haven't had anytime at all to go into town so that is why I haven't been writing anything. I have a TON to say, so I figure I'll probably write like 8 posts at once so if you don't really care about something you can just move on (like I used to do everytime Perez wrote about Lindsay or Hannah Montana. Which is why towards the end I was never reading any posts of his period. Man, I just realized how much catching up on Perez I will have to do in April.. or maybe by then I'll be weened. Hmm... anyway...)
First let me say that I am in Chitwan in the only hotel on the planet without CNN or BBC so I have no idea what is going on in the states with the election. Tragic, I know. Slighty relaxing though.
We went to this little fast food place for dinner and Min got Chowmin (which is basically chow mein) and he put catsup (ketchup?) on it. Lots of catsup. It was disgusting.
Anyway, like I said we are in Chitwan and I am going to the national park tomorrow through Saturday. I get to see tigers and elephants and stuff so I'm pretty excited. The drive here was crazy. We took this 4-wheeler microbus (like an izuzu trooper car) and it was like a 5 hour drive through the mountains on dirt roads. Not too pleasant but really beautiful. This little girl that we dropped off in a mountain town about half way spent the whole ride puking though so it wasn't the most attractive car ride, but beautiful nonetheless.
Other than that, just wanna say HAPPY ELECTION DAY. It's like 7am in the states right now so it's the perfect time to remind everyone to go vote today.
CNN World taught me a fun trivia fact this morning, by the way:
Why is election day on a Tuesday? Because way back when it was assumed that people needed a day to travel to the polls via horse and carriage in order to vote so they figured that everyone would go to church on Sunday, travel to the poll Monday, vote Tuesday and travel home on Wednesday. And in the name of tradition, that is how it still is today.
so GO VOTE.
