Day 5

Day 5 was delicious. It was a long day for me. Shun-Ya and I taught an English class in the morning. Then I taught a Leadership class with Olivia. Then I had English Curriculum reflection with the teachers.

For lunch, we ate at a restaurant SIMILAR to the one I hated. Oh. My. God. I think I lost 3 pounds that day because of how little I ate. There was a REALLY gross friend ant dish…Olivia didn’t know what it was when she put it on her plate. However, with closer inspection, she saw the wings and insect abdomens and told us. Thank God she said something. That shit was gross. The raw beef with lemon dish was good, though. Instead, I had nice hotel crackers. By this point, I think my addiction to Sour Sop started forming.

Then Shun-Ya and I taught the afternoon English class (we decided to split the classes, so I taught the morning one and Shun-Ya taught the afternoon one).

There was a black snake with yellow stripes running along its body. It was poisonous, apparently. I was really scared of it. It ran under a lion statue and the teachers had to smoke it out. It was really scary because the teachers decided to go play ball and let the smoke form under the lion. At this point, I was standing by the lion, paying close attention to the snake. Then they kicked the ball and it started bouncing towards me, but I mistook it for a gigantic white snake in ball form trying to attack me, so I screamed and ran.

For dinner, we ate at a very nice restaurant and had cool drinks.

Afterwards, we had time to kill, so we roamed the park near our hotel that had suddenly exploded with people. There were so man people. And there surprisingly a lot of aerobicise classes going on. The sky looked beautiful. It was a nice ending to a nasty-lunch-snake-filled day.
