I taught my first class today, a smallish group of Grade 1 children. They're very cute, and seem to enjoy high-fiving all the time. Now I just need to teach them to say, "NICE!" It's quite frustrating teaching a language, but it feels good to be helping these kids. I've got this weird scratchy throat from the weather here and, combining that with constant drilling today, has resulted in maximum voice hoarseness.
I had the most awesome chocolate and banana pancake here today. Yum. Also, I went swimming for the first time today. Lovely, clear water to wade about in; I think I will go buy a snorkel tomorrow. I'm really starting to enjoy the lifestyle here - it's very laid back. I spend most of my time just walking around and exploring places, and having something to nibble here and there. In fact, it's time for dinner now.
