I survived! Had one melt down but got over it fast. Hahaha so I was suposse to start teaching on wednesday. But I hadn't gotten my assigned material to teach! So we all started monday of the coming week. So *drum roll* I teach! Mathe to form 3 kids. It would be the equivalent to a 8th or 9th grader. Also they changed my topic about 3 times so far. I'm going to be doing geometric progression.... Go figure. Its not too hard it took me a while to understand it my self but I conquered. Also my family is soo nice to be honest though. I don't feel like I'm in africa I feel at home with the food and family and the technology in the house.
Food: cookies and mini cakes, pasta, rice and beans, soups.
Tech: computer with no internet. Occasional running water, we all have cell phones. Cd players, dvd player, flat TV with many channels!
I have the occasional car. And we shop for so many things!
I'm happy but I'm not sure I'm getting the experience I expected. My other "friends" here have either no electricity at all or a few lights. But I have a lot. Its nice... But I don't know. I washed clothes today in a bin and hung them up so that's new but its not hard. I cook occasionally on a gas stove and have a squat toilet that I'm use to since china. I go back to my group home tomorow and spend the night.
The people are nice but they all seem to have thingsbin common and I'm just really different from them so I don't talk much.
Oh damn I forgot to mention I witnessed two canning today that is how the students are reprimanded here. I'm really shocked, only because the teachers laughed at them and saw it as a game! They asked us if we wanted a try, because one of my other people with me was laughing... Me and the other were in shock I think. Not to mention the teacher hitting them was a mother to one of the travelers (not mine). Its very different here.
