I was going to sit down and try to write about what I have done since I got here and realized I've got all the days mixed up, so instead below are some highlights and I will put a few pictures. I need to locate some more pictures from various other cameras that are here and then I'll share them with you....Highlights thus far:
-experiencing spicy food beyond spicy (not particularly my favourite).
-seeing live fish and some sort of little seafood larva at the market-- moving around.
-seeing a MASSIVE mall! complete with water park (including lots of speedos!), a theme park (including a carousel ride I will never forget: pictures will accompany another day), a whole floor of just IT related things...
-great apartments- somewhat more like a dorm room, but definitely sufficient, clean and feeling more homey by the day.
-Skype! It connects me to home SO easily!!
-Open markets
-air conditioned taxis
-pool on our compound :)
-putting up dollarama decals in my room= excitement!
So far the food is great, but I have to figure out which stalls on the street are completely sketchy and which ones are fine. TONS of seafood. I bought a bunch of small bananas for 30 cents for breakfast today.
Today is our first day we go to school. I am nervous, we haven't really had any orientation since we got here, I think that's what we're doing today. Hopefully I'm still teaching the same thing! :) In any case off I go. For some reason I woke up a whole hour early and decided I would use it wisely...and wrote to all of you. Please feel free to leave questions!

hello dearie- enjoyed reading your blog- I think you can ask for the spicy food to be less spicy- if they are making it for you.
ReplyDeleteMJN has been here for the weekend- lots of bargins at the garage sales- Twitch especially like the baby bouncer!! great place to sleep
dandelion fluff is blowing all over the garden and the sky is incredible with massive dark thunderclouds and blue, blue sky.
love you loads, will try to be good and keep in touch- ps please , for my sake, make sure your food isn't moving when you put it in your mouth. Love MJM
Love your blog. I'm sure by the time you're home, you'll have developed a taste for 'spicy'. Shaun will be thrilled!!
