My time here is almost over. I am not sure if i am sad or relieved. I am amazed i made it this far to tell you the truth. I am getting to point where home is sounding pretty good right now. I finished my 2nd week of teaching today. It sometimes seems like i have been here forever. I think i am starting to really get the hang of things. We had a scavenger hunt today at the school. I was so happy to be the teacher of my students. they are mine. Well not really mine but i think you get the point. Just thinking of them makes me smile.
I had the opportunity to go to a night market tonight. Not sure how i like it. A street full of items i do not need. The process of buying goes against how i function.
1. you walk into the section of items you might want to buy.
2. You try to look not interested. (Never pick anything up. The second you do the owners go in for the kill. They come and starts begging you to buy it. )
3. Ask for price. (They say 100 you say 50 this goes on for a minute or two. Very awkward. you get them down 70)
4. you walk away. then they grab you. whispering in your ear "for you i will go lower" (Lies. they don't care about me. I am just some blonde girl from America that they know that can get money. then they go down to 50. Score what you wanted. or is it?)
5. Walk out with an arm full of stuff you don't need, passing the beggar on the street wondering if it was right to go in the first place.
As i said, it made me wonder if i ever wanted to go back. Kind of scared me.
other than that i have been good. Hope you are too! see you soon!
