Sorry for the late entries. It's been a while. With 'while' being 3 months. I know. But hey...
Happy Belated Easter!
It's been a really eye-opening experience the past few months. I don't think I can sum up this last term in a few words but I'm going to try.
I got to work into a local school for reception to grade 2 kids. Oh man, it was AMAZING! I know people say 'amazing' every other sentence but I really mean it. As soon as we got there these kids ran and hugged me so hard I almost fell over. I had pup, onions, beef and veg. After that meal I wanted to eat with my hands at every meal. That would save a lot of washing up of cutlery.
Then there was the hospital. At first the kids were a bit shy and suspicious but after a lot of smiling and toys they opened up. Note to self: less talk, more toys.
Food is great. I had my birthday during building project. Albert & Loren's cell decked out the whole mess hall with green lanterns and chopsticks and we had a stir fry. Loren also dressed up as woman dressing up as a man dressing up as a woman. She called me up and we made a cake consisting of bleach, vinegar, salt and I don't know what else. I've never been so speechless. AND...I got a goodie bag of toiletries and baie baie chocolates. I was a very happy bunny.
Easter break Ben, Kaat & myself went to a place called Nelspruit. We went to the Krugar Park and saw the Big Five: the elephant, leopard, lion, buffalo & rhino. We had about 10 lionesses and cubs walk past our bucky. Then there were 20 elephants that just decided to walk in front of us. The baby elephants didn't quite know what to do with their trunk. It's like a kid learning what to do with their feet when they're walking.
There's lots of other cool stuff that I've missed out. Aventura Resort with this epic slide where you go down in rubber rings with 5 other people. Zipline Adventures where we did 11 zipliness, ALL of which are longer than the ones you get in the UK.
Arrrrrgh I need to do an interview for my degree now. But in a nutshell these are a few of the highlights.
Tot sins!
It sounds like you're having an amazing time! I miss you, Ching. I hope your trip continues to be amazing (now I'm using that word way too much! Anyway...:D) and now I'm back on blogger I'll be able to read about it! I loved what you said about the baby elephants.
