Hi Everyone! Am safetly in Ecuador, in Tena, in the Ecuadorian rainforest! It´s a little town that is quite literally in the middle of the jungle, it´s so hot here, about 36 degres, really humid and then it absolutelñy pours with rain every so often too! Arrived here yesterday after having been in Quito for a few days for fthe orientation with i to i, and started my first day of teaching today! THe kids are all lovely, just really hard work though because they don´t know any english, and have so much energy and an incredibly short attention span! Am going to have to think of lots of games to do with them in order that they concentrate on something. THeir own teachers don´t have any control over the classes either, but they are not too worried, learning here isn´t like at home, they have no tests or anything, so it´s just a nice to have. HOwever, english is really impòrtant if they want to do well at the secondary school, so hopefully i´ll be able to teach them something. Living with a really lovely family in their littl "shack" thing, it´s very basic but very nice, they have a monkey, a sloath, about a million cats, a rabbit, a few dogs, and some guinea pigs and lots of chickens and cockerels that wake me up in the morning! I´m the nly english person here it seems, though tena itself is quite a tourist town, so everyone stares when you walk past, and some shout hello lol. evefyone is really really friendly thoug and they all know each other! Am going to try and phone home now, so will say bye for now! Miss you all lots of love xxxxx
