I've found my alarm clock! I guess I will just have 2 now. But Im glad to
find it. It was in a random pocket in my pack that I didn't check before.
Today I signed a 1 term contract. That means I'm committed til at least the
end of February. After I had like a three hour nap (I didn't realize i
really was tired), we also got together for a meeting with all the English
teachers to discuss the schools rules etc. Tomorrow we go to get pictures
taken to apply for the working visa. The next day we are required to have a
physical at the local hospital... a bit angry because I realize now that it
was not neccesary for me to get one in the states because they make you have one here anyway, and the school pays for it! all that hassle for nothing. grr. oh well.
After our meeting I went with the three other foreign teachers
to dinner. Ordering food was quite the ordeal. I knew I wanted shrimp
becuase i had it the day before and it was so good. They cook it in salt on
a stick. I didn't know how to order so they took me to the back where all
the sea food was in tanks, still swimming. I found the shrimp and chose my "victims." Then had a good meal, walked around the city, and had good time getting to know the other teachers from Michigan, Britain, and Uzbekistan.
More later!

So how does China compare to Thailand so far? Did you find any other teachers your age?? What about the one from Michigan? Are you going to take language classes? Do you begin teaching today?? Tomorrow?? I can't wait to hear how that goes, and what your students are like! More later,
