First off correction...I speak English in the classroom and at home... :) oops!
Here are a few culture things...
We ate at a mall food court. I got what looked like sweet and sour chicken...The chicken had bones and not a whole lot of meat...I stuck to the rice.
Today at PriceMart which is our Costco or Sam's Club they had samples; every other sample was an alcoholic beverage. I did not sample, I am not allowed to.
We and when I say we it usually means my roommates and I. :) Anyway we were talking to the music teacher, Mr. Kolmodin for all you Unity Christian West MI people, and he was telling us that he asked his 8th grade girls choir to come sing at a church. Everyone said they would come; 2 out of 16 showed up. When you ask someone to come you don't have to show up whether it be to dinner or to sing at a church.
Random Honduran Laws having to do with schools. You may not take away points from a student you must give them a certain amount of points. So instead of saying I will start you at 2 points a day and if you show up late you lose one and if you get a warning you lose one; instead I must say you get a point for showing up on time with your stuff and you get a point for not getting a warning! Random... Another law is that you may not have food or drink, with the exception of water, in the classroom. Last year there was a situation that student A had tea and student B asked for a drink and student A decided to throw the drink at her spilling it all over her so student B decided to start beating on student A. Who is at fault? The teacher for allowing the drink in the classroom. Lawyers were involved etc...the joys of working at a rich school.
Other random facts...one of the families of the school owns 45 miles of land on the Pacific ocean...45 miles of beach!!!
On the way up the mountain we live on there are mansions and there are shacks. In a few of the shack communities there is no running water. They city's solution? Have an exposed pipe that is continually flowing...So along the side of the road there is this 'spring' that people bring their buckets to in order to have water in their home. They will wash their clothes there...All the while the rich are driving buy to go to their mansions...We live in a mixed up world!
Last random thing...fireworks/fire crackers and lit off at all hours. 4:59 this morning sounded like gun shots...got to love that on a Saturday morning!
I posted pictures on facebook...check it out..
