Greetings from Hamilton, Scotland! At long last, an internet opportunity! We do not currently have internet in the house (we have to buy a top-up card... weird) but we are working on it. Three of us are at a little cafe called D'Nisi's. Very nice atmosphere... we might come back here.

Anywho, Kelly and I arrived right on time (praise God!) and met up with Kristina and Allison who arrived a couple hours earlier than us. We finally met up with our cab driver and he had to call a second car because we had 11 bags between us all. : / 25 minutes later, we were at the house and oohing and ahhing over it.

Monday was our first day and it was quite a surprise. We have a different schedule everyday, the students actually know the words please and thank you (most actually call me Miss!) and we get a tea break in the morning along with a 45 minute lunch! I taught my first lesson on Wednesday and taught a little each day. I'm teaching more next week.

Some fun stories in which you get to laugh at us:
1. We took the wrong bus Tuesday; a kind old couple had to tell us to get off the bus, cross the street, and go the other direction.
2. Kelly plugged in a hair dryer while I was still in bed. I heard POP! and the lamp went out. Thankfully we were able to fix the fuse and it wasn't a big deal.
3. My students think I talk funny.
4. I told a student he had Justin Beiber hair and he protested profusely.
5. We met Kim and Richard, two Scottish student teachers. Kelly got it in her head that Richard's name was actually Michael. We found out later it was his middle name. We had no idea.

That's all for now. Getting kicked out.

Love and hugs!

Andrea
