There is internet at school.
My toilet stopped giving me a shower every time I use it.
I woke up to a beautiful sunny day today.
National dress is handsome and beautiful.
The teachers are funny.
No mice in my hair last night.
So a good day.
I was immediately warned of the fog, cold and leeches that will be everywhere, but hey, one day at a time.
In Bhutan the teachers usually report 5 days before students show up for planning. This year there was Lhosar (new year) and we only have 3 days. First day - signing up for the courses you will teach, discussing the timetable, signing up for clubs, home rooms. All done by consensus. I am not sure it would work at home. Apart from sounding like chaos in the staff room, there does not seem to be the overt power play that I would imagine at home. Although there are obvious "players" they do listen to each other. Because it is done with everyone present there are no deals being made. I may be naive and missing a lot in the dialect that I do not understand, however I do see universal behaviours that are easily recognizable and politeness is one of them.
I have some photos and will post when I figure out how to connect my computer to this system.
