Budapest

My conversation with my starter class today, reviewing what we learned last week:


m: Where's Budapest?
c: Burger
m: Listen. (pointing to my ear) Where is Budapest?
c: Hamburger
m: London is in England.  Where is Budapest? (very slowly)
c: (very slowly) Hamburger.
 
*Note to self, when asking a question to people who have only been studying English for one week, be careful what you have in your hand.  Clearly, it's confusing when you are holding a picture of a hamburger and it has nothing to do with the question.  Yep, I'm a good teacher.

Demonstrations and Turbo Jam

As you probably know, there are a lot of protest and demonstrations going on in my area of the world.  I have a lot of people asking if I'm okay, if I'm scare, etc.  We have made contingency plans to evacuate if the need arises, but for now, everything is quite peaceful.  I'm at peace with life here; I know that this comes from Him, alone.  So, we wait and pray. 

While we are watching to see how this will work out, we are working out!  Turbo Jam kicks my tush~my whole body is sore!  It's a fun way to exercise, though.  I kinda wish there was a video camera recording me and the other girls trying to dance/punch/kick to fast music.  We are not the most coordinated bunch, so it's quite funny!
