Scooters and AC

Life is good when you have air-conditioning! Mine busted a couple days ago, so have been sweltering--fortunately I had an electric fan to get me through the nights. But came back from the office today on my borrowed scooter (SO fun!) and I have a brand-new perfectly-working air-conditioner.

I went exploring around town a little bit after the speaker ended for the day. I was told there was a cool bookstore called Caves that had a lot of English books, so I thought I would check it out. I only got a little lost on my way there, but found it in the end and it does have a pretty good selection of mostly bestsellers. To say learning English it popular here would be an understatement... they have an entire floor of books devoted to learning English at all different levels. Quite amazing really! Even more exciting is that when I get my teacher's ID I can get a 20% discount card. Sweet!

I have had a request for pictures of my apartment, but actually apartment may be a bit of an overstatement. It is more like a hotel room with a large mini-fridge and sink. But it has a double bed, two desks, a TV with cable, and a wardrobe. Pretty comfortable really. Anyways I'm not quite finished setting up, but when I get all situated I will take a picture, I promise!

I will be meeting my colleagues on Thursday... how exciting. I hope I will be a good English teacher.
