Hi everyone!!
I have had a pretty good week, teaching is going good!My yr 6 class are so fun!Yr 9 are a handful, and the rest are good!The funnest classes are when we play games to help them with their english skills, like introducing, questioning!I have to plan lessons, which is probably the hardest part, to know what they will understand and be interested in.So far so good!I have another Vietnamese english teacher in the class with me to help translating.My placement is pretty good In my little room that i share with Korine we have a fridge/freezer, tv with cable, a computer, we actually have 3 in the room as we both brought our laptops.On Sunday Beth, Erin and i went on a tour which took us to a place where the disabled make heaps of the art that is sold, they showed us here, how they make some of it which was really cool!Though it goes to show how much we get ripped off at home as its so cheap here.Then we went to the Cao Dai temple, the great holy see Temple.It is the headquarter of Cao dai, a religion with a colourul mix of Buddhism, christianity and confucian.We attended one of the daily mass's which was really iteresting.Then we went to the Chu Chi tunnels, where part of the Vietnam war men fought in the Vietnam war.This was in the jungle and was very hot!The tour guide showed us weapons that the men made, and we saw some of the tunnels that the men crawled through, we could go through them if we wanted, though i started to do it then i piked it!It was too scary and i get clostrophobic sometimes!My friend Beth did it and she said it was really hot, small and it got darker by the end but she enjoyed it!You can also shoot a gun there which i wish i did but i didnt take enough money!I was out to dinner with the princpal, vice principal, the owner of the school and one of the teachers, we went to a place called the Thai garden (yeah Lenno) and we ate some traditional food which was nice.They also gave me my name is Vietnamese its whah nn haha i cant spell it and it probably doesnt sound like that but its funny.
Hope all is well at home.See you all later!
