Okay, not really. And I'm loving it! I'm finally getting the information about the school and how it works. Yeah! It's kind of important since I am now planning and preparing for the start of school in 2 weeks.
I even have a map of the school! How exciting. Scott was mocking me the other day and said maybe he would set up a scavenger hunt so I could learn all the buildings. Very funny. I’ve done some observations today and Monday so I can now get to the language building. It’s a bit tricky since there are stair bridges connecting buildings, and they are only on some floors. It’s another fascinating thing. How do you connect 2 unconnected buildings? And sadly I can’t explain the bridges in words. I’ll have to take a picture.
You know, part of me wonders if it's a cultural issue blocking the transfer of information. Why don't they have all of this in a document that I can just read? Why don't they tell me when I first arrive, or even before I arrive? This is all good information. Interesting, huh?
Well I'd best get back to work. The overall challenge has not become easier but I'm better able to figure out the puzzle as I get more pieces.

Hi Amberlee,
As you and I noted the first day we were there, someone SHOULD make a "welcome" package to things can be known by the incoming English teachers. It would have been a big help to you... So I am sure others would appreciate it. Why have the native staff have to teach it each time. Just have some info in writing for new teachers to read?!
Oh yea, common sense...
Love,
Dad
