Hey Guys - OK...I've been slack with the updates...but figured since I've told a few people on here that
I've been heading off overseas thought I should write an update on here as I don't have
everyone's e-mail address
FOr those of you who don't know I'm over here in the sunny Cook Islands completing 3 weeks of
teaching rounds as part of my Batchelor of Primary Education.
I'm teaching what would be the equivilant of Grade 1 back home...however things are extreemly
different in the education system over here. School starts at 8am, however I use the term starts
loosly...the school bell (or should I say drum with a stick) doesn't really mean anything
here. The classroom that I am in is frequently visited by dogs and we are all kept alert by
the rooster that keeps crowing outside.
School finishes at 2:00pm which leaves plenty of time in the afternoon to relax or plan for the
next day.
Weekends are of course the best part. We usually spend them at the local pubs (Ronnies, TJ's or The
Staircase), sitting by the pool at the local resort eating LOTS of ice-cream.
Been getting around the island on a motorcycle (those who know me well would never picture me
riding a motorcycle) which is been interesting. Going for my licence in order to ride one was
an experience in itself. Basically you do a lap of the block..and if you don't fall off
your bike you pass !!!
Well..gotta go. I'm tying this at one of the pubs here and I've been told my a mate that dinner
is on it's way...plus this is costing a forture.
Take Care and will (try my very best to) update more soon !!!
