Make this HOME!

Our host mother really wants us to feel like we are at home. So the other day we came home from school and they had a "suprise" for us...

The lamp light we had been using was falling apart, you had to be very careful when turning it on, then it was on the other side of the room, so they installed a light by our beds!
The water pitcher and cups is amazing to have in our rooms all the time, because we can't drink just any water it has to be purified, so we take it when we can. Little Ania has made that her job to keep it full, Always!
The pink roses were from the 5 we had given Tonia, (she LOVED) -we wanted to get her a dozen, but they don't do that here? americans-
And BEST of all, our treat plate! Ania keeps that full to!?!?! : )

Meet Mr.Bubble. This is our official boiler. Every morning we liked to have hot chocolate (not coffee or tea) shocker. Well now we can make our own.
-Can you see the hot chocolate packets just waiting to be eaten?
-the M&M's were a gift from Ania : ) yum (she knows me too well)

-"Mr.Bubble" because Tonia says you have to wait till you hear the bubble sound then it is done! But by then it is boiling and we have to wait atleast 30 minutes for it to cool. (it's not coffee :) oh the joys of explaining different cultures)
