Teaching English

    Tonight was my first night teaching English in Iwakuni. When you walk in the building, you have to take off your shoes and put on these ugly little things...

    It was a blast though! I had three students tonight and they were so funny. At first I went in there with an article to read with them. Turns out it was way tooooo hard for them and I think I scared them a little! But I tossed it to the side and decided to find out what they wanted me to teach them. Here's the list: the states, cultures, food, dangerous animals, life, education, music concerts, grand canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone national parks, and museums. Quite a list! They want me to teach them about life in the states and basically have conversations with them. Tonight we talked about Texas of course. They wanted to know if we say "Howdy" and where we go when there are tornadoes. I told them that not all Texans ride horses and say "howdy partner" and that most people have storm cellars. They loved it! I also taught them the word "y'all", come on how can I not when talking about Texas?

    We also found a house the end of last week. I was waiting to post because I wasnt sure that we would be able to because it looks like this right now

   

    That's right, it's not even built yet, barely a foundation! But we were lucky enough to find a house that is being built as a rental. Everything will be brand new and we will have enough room for all of our furniture! How lucky is that? I cant wait to post pictures as they build! Heres our next door neighbors house built by the same company:

    Pretty nice huh? Unfortunately we wont be moving in until November 1st, so we are stuck in the temporary lodging until then. But at least we will have a brand new house!

    Other than that I don't have any big news. This weekend we mostly drove around looking at houses. We went back to the river for a little bit and into a few stores for some shopping. I found a few funny items. 

What kind of candy do you think this is? I wasn't brave enough to find out!

Isaac said this was like squid jerky... Once again I wasn't brave enough to find out!

Doesn't this packaging make you feel horrible for the mouse??

    To finish up our weekend we went to an India Restaurant. It was honestly the best chicken curry that I have ever had. They make the naan bread when you place your order! It was so fresh and delicious! I will definitely be going back there. 

    Welp goodnight everyone! I hope yall have as good of a Monday as I had!!
