Here Comes the Bride...

Hello World!

I'm getting abit too good at this Blog updating malarky at the moment!

There's not all that much to report from today- except for the teacher cancelled School (yeah- they can just cancel school here) without taking into consideration the fact that I'd spent an hour preparing a test for my class (The kids won't escape though- they can have it on Monday! haha). Instead of school we just casually rocked up at a local wedding...

Weddings here are much different to English weddings (possibly an understatement) and the wedding party actually felt honoured to have us there as opposed to us feeling honoured that 7 westerners would be allowed to show up attheir special day. The bride is paraded in on a sort of stretcher covered in a veil and then she sits in a dark room for the rest of the festivities with only a select few (including us!) permitted to see her face. After this comes the food. I may have mentioned in several past posts that the food here is good, however the food at this wedding was the Creme de la Creme of food. There were dishes upon dishes upon dishes served to us as we sat cross legged in rows with leaves as plates. Stephen and Louisa should deffinately take note of this for their upcoming wedding!

This afternoon was spent in meetings and doing lesson plans. Lesson plans are proving to be pretty difficult because nobody seems to really know what the curriculum is so it's pretty much a do what you think's best approach. So next week it's going to be a full exegesis on War and Peace (or days of the week- whichever I'm feeling at the time.)

For Now.. Aacha Ji!
