Acting the Role of Uncle

650 days ago
	Well, the last weekend was spent just hanging out in Makassar. That is good, considering the large amount of money needed which is involved in a move. However, sometimes Makassar can be more expensive than going out due to the crazy prices at some clubs etc. Bu that was not the case this weekend. I spent most of it chilling out with Kiky's nephews and nieces. I get quite a bit of enjoyment out of watching these young kids play, and am always happy when they come over to our house. At first all of the litle kids have the same reaction to me, which is to be really scared or shy. That is because I am most likely the first white person they have ever seen and for a kid that kind of change in appearance can be confusing. But all of them have learned to get more comfortable around me. Now Putri, Kiky's cousin's daugher, cannot stop harrassing me. She has such a fun little smile too. Kiky's niece, Ilia, has also gotten used to me and now continues to chat non-stop with Kiky and I. I actually can't understand everything that the little kids say because their pronunciation is a bit off for my ear, but I am getting better. That will be something that I miss in Makassar, chilling with Kiky's family. They are all very nice people and have all been very open and welcoming to me. I guess I will still have the oportunity to be around kids in the school that I teach, but it is far more fun dealing with children on a social level rather than an instructor level.
