frog tasting and overpriced menus.

This is the third day of teaching (Thursday) in this country and I am not feeling my super best! It’s a bit hotter outside today and I think the heat is increasing my sleepiness! I ended up going home to sleep during lunch time today. It was a bit tricky trying to find someone in my school to call my housekeeper to pick me up. I had the challenge of getting the point across that I needed them to call the housekeeper, ask her to pick me up as well as take me home and then bring me back a few hours later. (Note *housekeeper also doesn’t speak english!) Anwyho, I managed to do so and I can confess that there is nothing better than relaxing in air conditioner in the middle of a ridiculously hot day! Definitely hard to force yourself to go back outside to classrooms that are filled with a LOT of children and no air conditioning! I did however manage to do just fine the rest of the day and I really think that nap helped a ton! The kids could tell I wasn’t as cheerful and were actually much better behaved in the afternoon classes! I love how sympathetic kids can be sometimes! Even in a completely different culture! OH and I finally encountered the infamous toliets in Asian cutlure... "the squat toliets". Let me just say that I will ensure I never have to step foot into such a bathroom again. haha. Definitely an experience that I hope to never repeat! :)
Dinner this evening was at the Chuong Duong Hotel and as stated in the glorious travel book, way overpriced for the food! Lol! Go figure! I tried frog for the first time however! Tasted like super greasy chicken. Jonny had ordered it for his meal and when it arrived I could barely look at it! So many creepy parts with bones! Eek! But he kindly picked the meat of the bone so I could try it! I’m so pathetic with food sometimes! Haha! Oh well. In the end, it was a nice little dinner down by the river. On the way home we checked out “Bar Coffee” which was a roof top bar with a VERY nice breeze. Even though the drinks we incredibly overpriced, the view and breeze made it worth it!
