Far too much to tell
I am at the school and it is absolutely beautiful. Everyone associated with it is so kind and nice and I can't possibly put into words the hospitality I've been shown. The school is far nicer, better equipped, and more aesthetically pleasing than ANY I've seen in the states. My early impressions about the demographics of the teacher and student populations were completely off the mark. Except for the amazingly energetic, funny and self-deprecating British principal, I have not seen anyone who looks like me if you know what I mean.
Yesterday, at the HYPERMART (imagine three mega Targets on top of each other), children would stare and point at me, when I smiled at them, they'd break into gales of laughter.
I am posting from the school's computer lab, and think I'd better find my way back--there will be a meeting soon. I have some very nice photos on my Mac but can't post them right now. I should have home internet service quite soon.
Regards.

Hi Mike,
Glad you made it! I look forward to seeing your pictures and reading about your exciting adventures! How are the living conditions?? How about the food? What is the teacher-student ratio? What is the grocery store like? I need details :) now that I am living vicariously through you! Your Sister, Julie
I don't understand. Are you saying that the children there point and laugh at you in a way that is significantly different than the way they do here?
Hey, how is the flat? Howsabout the flat mate? What conversations are you having with all the ex-patriots there. Do you get a chance to talk to any of the actual natives?
Pictures! Post pictures of everything.
I know that you don't have regular computer time yet, but I'm still checking the site 4-5 times a day. Any info is appreciated.
Exciting times.
