Hello!
All the group have arrived safely and are settling into Naz well! The MAN-NEWARK flight was on time and stress free (I watched Duplicity and The Wedding Singer) and seeing the Manhattan skyline as we landed was brill! I know there was a few people who were quite nervous about flying; but Vic loaded everyone up with aromatherpy oil and it seemed to do the trick! The NEWARK-ROCHESTER was definitly an experience, we had a tiny plane with propellers (!) and lotsss of turbulence, we all stumbled off that plane looking distinctly green!
Yesterday we had a day at 'Rock Ventures', which was lots of teambuilding stuff and rock climbing (!). To be honest; I wasn't exactly looking forward to it - but it was brilliant, terrifying, but brilliant. I ended up walking a wire bridge along the top of the ceiling and climbing the wall to the top (shaking the whole time, but I still did it!). Lots of embarasing photos of me in a harness coming your way (You're welcome Kez).
Tonight there is a cultural dinner, where all the International students are cooking a traditional dish and doing a performance. Everyone we have met so far has been really friendly; and always ask lots of questions as soon as they hear our accents. This afternoon I think we are going to go to the 'movies' and tommorrow is our big induction for the Community Place - so we will find out then what Project we are working with.
Missing you all lots, I hope you are all ok and thankyou for the messages! The phones have been a bit daft so far; so I will ring when I can and try and upload lots of photos on here!
Lots of Love
