Count down:
Days: 55
Dollars: $550
Those numbers worked out nicely. That was not intentional on my part, but it is pretty cool to me. We had an anonymous donor take care of the fees for all of our visas. What a blessing! Mr./Mrs. Anonymous donor, we sincerely thank you for your generosity!
Preparation updates:
I completed watching the video for Fairness and I get to do an interesting activity with the students. I get to start off seemingly arbitrarily handing out pieces of candy to students while leaving others out. Then we get to talk about how that made them feel and why it is important to treat people fairly. I am trying to decide how I should go about doing this. Should I have one of my co-teachers pass out the candy, one of the students? Thoughts, suggestions?
Does anyone have any recent pop-culture references that would be good examples of Respect or Fairness?
Over tax free weekend I purchased a new pair of athletic shoes and I made sure I got a pair that are mostly gray. Apparently white athletic shoes are a dead giveaway that you are American. Not that I have any hope of hiding that! I also got a rain coat (that fits) to be able to layer with a sweater, if necessary. I have travel adapters for the power outlets. I am debating on purchasing a backpack that has built in security features to keep out wandering hands. I am sure this is a little overboard, but we travel quite a bit and it would get good use.
If it is not already obvious, I have never traveled out of the United States. Any advice for newbie international travel?
Until next time...
