Chapter 14
Back to school
And the party goes on
Otherwise it's been two weeks already that Yarden wanted to go back to ... Thai Hoa, to see her friend Hai,
and to return to Gan Kim. It's that a little routine it's not that bad after all.
Right now, after the period of why, that continues elsewhere, she entered the dreaded pink, princesses and makeup one. Savta Miry has helped a little anyway.
At the farm, the cows got a right to exit from the hangars ... and there have been many changes in positions. Gilad finds himself alone at the head of his,
and Meital, Yarden's great friend returned to Israel to give birth.
The opportunity to celebrate her departure in a karaoke. It was our first time. It was about time after a year!
And the next day of course, barbecue at home.
As for Or, he kindly brought a new sandbox from his garage that we carefully wrapped this time.
Otherwise we have homework now. But to decide to do them, it takes time. It promises!
Fortunately we had four days. It's that the teachers form a volleyball team and they had to face the other schools, then obviously, the gan was closed ...

Moreover Nga invited us to her school (she's an English teacher) for the sports festival.
And to finish this long weekend, a little tour in the fields.
As last year on the teachers day, we visited Kim with flowers and a gift and even the school's principal.
and after speeches and songs and other distributions of flowers and gifts,
everyone began to work,
or almost,
to prepare lunch in one of the class rooms.
I learned that at school now they call her i-Zaden. Before they called her simply Zaden; the Vietnamese can not pronounce the y followed by a vowel so they decided to still say the i. In addition Zaden means black skin. At least we know who they are talking about in the gan.
4 years old
the new electric train from Ronit (the other does not want to work anymore because of moisture. Is that everything that's working with batteries does'nt hold out);
the pearls from Rahel, the stickers from Savta Eva;
and in the evening, the stuffed dog from Ngoc and the toy from Mikha. Kim also came with her daughters
and a red dress very locally fashionable.
As for the cake, fortunately, Hanna was there with her know-how and her cocoa, unobtainable. The other ingredients it took me two weeks to bring them together.
As a precaution I asked Ngoc to bring another cake. She did not fail to be putting two little pigs. It's that they strongly believe in Chinese signs here.

The next day again at the gan at 7 am for a new show,
this time at the village primary school, before a delegation of national education.
I thought we would walk ... it was three by three on the teachers motorcycles.
After repeating on the terrace,
the performance.
Fortunately, Kim hid under the table!
Sunday
Since her mother is no longer working in the kitchen in the evening, Diep doesn't come to play anymore.
So we went to visit her at home, behind the farm 3 of Segev and Dagan.

Here's how you learn to ride a bike,
and it is not uncommon to see the four years old big sister bringing back her little 2 years old brother with the mom's bike in the middle of the road.

We must taste ...
And to continue the kitchen momentum, a good sand cake
and pancakes, real ones - Yarden has become a pro, especially to break the eggs without a single piece of shell, but for lumps it's not that yet -
for Kim's girls and their friend.
The beginning of the end
Oh well, everyone is leaving, or almost. General repatriation. It had to happen one day. They will be 5 people left, Gilad, Tal, Baz, Keren and Mikha, for now, until further notice.
The traditional barbecue, this time a little more refined and also a little sad.
Even Nga will be no longer with us.
