I am now down to my last week of teaching and with the Chinese New Year fast approaching my school center had a end of year party for all of us last night. It was a lot of fun and soooo much food. We had a 6 course meal with everything from pig to seafood rice to fish and everything else. There was also an open bar which we took full advantage of, although there was a limit to how much I could do since I had to work this morning at 7 AM. Me and the other foreign teachers got a bottle of Johnnie Walker as a gift which was awesome and it will be put to good use when Pritch comes to visit in a little over a week. They also had Karaoke and managed to drag my, David, and Brando on stage to sing two songs which for me was hard, cuz I am not a good singer. I have my last two days of teaching on Tuesday and Thursday this week and then am planning on visitng the tunnels and the Mekong Delta before Pritch arrives on February 2nd. See you all in 3 weeks!
On our 4th day in Africa we went to Lake Manyara part which was much different and more jungle like then the rest of the parks. This park was pretty much overrun by baboons and we also found a hippo pool and watched as 8 of them came out onto land. On the 5th day we drove to the Serengeti and stopped to look into the huge Ngorogoro crater. We got to watch a lion stalk a group of gazelles and then saw a cheetah too! Lastly we saw some lion cubs. TBC tomorrow...
Our enormous Czech meal! What Min and I woke up to everyday... The next morning we actually missed our 7 AM train out of Amsterdam but when we got to the train station at 9 AM they said to just grab the next one in 20 minutes, so no big deal. We got into Berlin around 4 PM and it was raining bad and just seemed very dreary. By the time we got to the hostel and got settled it was 6 PM and we decided to just go to a local bar and watch the NFL. It was pretty fun and we even met a guy who plays offensive line for a Berlin football team.
