summer is here

well.

it is very hot here now.
my work dress now consists of a tshit, shorts and sandals. there isnt much space to san bath as its a concrete jungle out there but hay, its nice to walk to work in the heat, with a little breeze to stop you from over heating.

bad news:

after talking with a different teacher about what i will be teaching next as i hav run out of flash cards for book for, firstly i found out that i have 2 more books to do, and
i have found out that although most schools break up for summer, kindergartens dont, all we get is 10 days max for chinese new year. :-(

so no summer vacation for me....


on the bright side, when people come over i ill be in a stonger position to take time off,,, when mum gets here i will take a couple of days off and when paul arrives i will take more time off, so its not all bad.

yesterday and the day before i didt really eat much, i wasnt really in the mood for the same old food, but today i have got my appetite back and bought a load of fresh fruit, mango's, apples, melons, water melons, strawberry's, pineapple and a couple of things i dont know what they are,(at least not yet) coconut milk, fresh orange juice and apple juice and some sort of carrot juice that is surprisingly taisty, water with vitamins added and peanut m&m's.

my chinese has been persponed for a couple of weeks as i know what i need to get by at teh moment and i just need some time off, i am for getting words very quickly, even simple words like open door and close door,


i have walked the same rout to work for the passed 2 months, and even now when the grandparents see me the stop and have there kids stare at me, it is very disconcerting,

Puru, a english teacher form the Philipenes is in the process of setting up a bar as there is a lack of bars in the city for westoners. quite intresting that he can work his normal job and be able to work again at his own bar. nice idea really.
