Snail Takeaways anyone?
Pat the Monkey for luck
Je suis fatigué, yawwwwwwwn, no one told us just how tiring it is to constantly be thinking about language transcription/translation. The amount of brain power that goes into thinking about blends/translation is like running a brain marathon. C`est la vie!
Anyway we are half way through our experience now and I am actually enjoying every minute! I manages to go to a market alone today and get a coffee, and another, pay and then purchase a Melon for tomorrow! Woo hoo, small steps!
The children here are much the same as in NZ, some are cheeky little ...err ... brats, and some have quite big social issues as at home. The children enjoy talking ot me in English to practice and then chat away in French, not that I understand.
This morning I worked in a year 6 class making batons for Eh Papa. On the 29th we are having a BIG AFS day as there are 8 different nationalities in the Bavay region, 2 Adults and 6 teenagers. Each country is putting on a display. So, the boys have learnt the Haka off YouTube, the girls and I are busy practicing Poi, and the littlies are learnign patterns and English numbers via theEh Papa stick game. Volia! Tres Busy.
This weekend is another busy one, Bernard has a stall at the Milk Fair on Sunday, he makes Whisky, Oh la la! Then out to dinner. Daniele tells me we are out to dinner somewhere on Saturday night, and an English teacher, Nadine invited me to lunch tomorrow, her husband teaches English also, then out to Valenciennes to shop. Think of the Luggage Suzette! Think of the luggage! Smile
Anyway, Italy loomes, lots to do before hand, school trip to see Tunnels left over from WW1, A visit to a village NZers liberated in WW2, Kiwis are somewhat famous here, I hope I can live up to the mana, with such little french I am sometimes speechless.
a bientot

Hey,
We're doing a lot of discus and maths. The snails sound, erm... unusually tasty (not). But the snails to go does sound better, do you know the french go through over 30,000 tonnes of snails a year? Well any way enjoy the rest of your trip. When you get to Italy make sure you take heaps, heaps and heaps of photos.Enjoy
