Day 3

Yesterday we had the opportunity to watch and participate in the discussion and lecture of the middle school brain, which was not only cool but also very disgusting. My group thought it was pretty gross so we didn't do much of that,but they did make me a map of all the cool places to go nearby. I also won a game where i had to pick out the next sequential number out of a number search and continue on. The aussies got 3, an american got 4 and i got 14. I must be good at numbers?

Yesterday our homestay host, Alice's daughter Sandra came over and we had two bottles of wine with some dinner. They call things interesting here like Peanut Paste, Tomato Paste, etc.

Today we went to Wamuran and participated in a class. I was in grade two. All of my students were interested in how long it took for me to get here and wanted to hear my accent. What accent?! They especially wanted to know if we got snow... and i told them. I worked specifically with one student who had Autism and he was a real nice boy to work with. He seemed to like me to which the teacher said that does not happen often.

We are having an "interesting" time with our homestay host but are looking to subtley taking care of the small issues. More to come.

Cheers
