So the football wasn't even on, turns out it's next Saturday. But instead we got to watch wrestling for a few hours until 11pm only to discover that the restaurant were going to show Ice Age instead. Oh well! We've made friends with the Indian restaurant now, I think they find us very entertaining. On the way home the police decided to stop us while we were crossing the road. They seemed interested in what we were doing in the area, they probably thought we were lost. A lot of people find it weird that we're here, lots of stares and lots of hellos.
Sunday was mainly a sleeping day and then lesson planning for Monday when we would start school.
School is from 9-12, two one and a half hour periods. I have two classes, A and B! Class A is the oldest class, they range between the ages of 11 and 16. Their English is quite ok so they usually understand what to do. Class B are younger and a lot more shy to speak. I've learnt about half their names, but a lot of them are really hard to pronounce. When you walk into the class in the morning, all the students stand up and shout "GOOD MORNING TEACHER!" It's great! And at the end they shout "THANK YOU TEACHER!" If only children in the UK were this nice!
There's a lot of wildlife here, some very big beetles and moths fly in and out of the room. Also, lizards! I love them! Jo is not so much of a fan.There are also MANY MANY mosquitos. My "maximum plus" strength insect repellant does not seem to be doing the job. I'll just have to be itchy for these few months I suppose!
We'd been looking forward to going into KL again at the weekend to see William and Kate on their tour of Malaysia, but today we found out that they're leaving the area on Friday. Very sad, we'll have to think of a plan B!
