What an interesting mix of people I will be working with this year...a very diverse group of personalities! Because of Ramadan food is a bit more difficult to get, so we have been doing a number of things together as a staff. These times are quite entertaining :) Just to give you an example...one night we went to a teacher's apartment for nachos. She proceeded to get out her disco ball and spot light and dance. Then to everyone's surprise the 60 year-old social studies teacher gets up and starts shaking his hips along side her!!! Need I say more...we have some characters among us!
Seriously though, everyone is so nice and willing to help with anything. The preschool teacher wrote out a list of survival arabic words, which has been very helpful. We bought a map of the city and are beginning to get our bearings. Today we went to the Marif market...what a wonderful array of fresh food! That is a definite perk of living here.
