O.K-so we got the date wrong for the Chinese Dragon Dance- haha. And we all came down to KK especially for it. But ah well. Atleast I got to experience my first ever backpackers, which was cool and we got to catch up with the others. Aman and I are back at school now and tought our first classes- all 6 of them :-S. We didn't hava clue we were teaching as we were told we wern't taking any classes until later in the week-so there wasa bit of major improv going on i...

Thought I'd add some things about KK that I think I've missed out. Weather- hot, humid with sudden monsoons that strike unexpectedly!

Soo- today Aman and I slyly went to see him at his office. Was highly amusin- was like going to se...

Ahh, ok, this is a little bit harder than i thought. Take a bit of culture shock, homesickness, dislike to local food, tummy ache, intense humidity, cockroaches+super fast lizards- mix it all together and u get one bewildered and emotional Kirsty.
