It doesn't feel like a 60 year drought in Ethiopia! It rains/ storms nearly every day and the hail stones are the size of large marbles. I wondered why I wanted to come here when my first weekend was spent reading Jilly Cooper with a headtorch because there was no power...was it the right choice?!
I can 80% say 'yes', due to the fact that my house, the other teachers, the school at the city itself are pretty amazing. I'm still getting used to the currency and the language. Even knowing a little Amharic lets the locals know that you are not just a tourist and worth being severely ripped off.
The PE is fab - Andy is my boss and 2 Ethiopian staff - Fikre and Betse. The facilities are quite good and I have a good feeling that work will be a positive experience at Sandford.
The evenings after school are filled with my newly found internet freedom, my harmonica and yucilaley(?!). Although, I have met some cool younger women from school who are a good laugh and I hope to meet more people with similar interests.
I was poorly all weekend - constant sneezing, fever and trouble breathing. I hope that it is not an ongoing issue, as the air quality will not improve drastically!
School starts Wednesday with the liitle ones - wish me luck?1 x Love to all x
