Update 2

Hello again.

We are now settled in, and my sleeping pattern is a bit better.

Our class has been great...although it is very small. 9 students in our section, 8 females.

I don't know if I will be able to get any pictures online until I get home, because there seems to be a common misconception that USB keys are prone to computer viruses.

We went to 'Fox Mountain' yesterday with some of our students. It is a large hill that in the past was used for watching for fires in the city. If someone saw a fire, they would send signals to firefighters below indicating where the fire was. Now the hill is used as a hangout spot.

We also went downtown and walked around, and went to the local amusement park. I didn't go on any of the rides, but some of the team did go on the ferris wheel.

The weather here is very beautiful, around 20 - 25 degrees celcius. The pollution on the other hand, is terrible. There is a haze over the city the entire day, drastically reducing visibility.

This morning Marcin and I were given a tour of the schools museum, which is near the top of the buidling. We saw lots of interesting historical items of the school, and I took a few pictures of the things. Interestingly, in one of the showcases is a "Leader" certificat from 2003. That was cool to see.

Today we are going to an art museum I believe, and tomorrow night we are going bowling with Svetlana (our site host), and her friends. It is 5 pin bowling, which I cannot remember ever having done.

I have to jet now, hope all is well back home!
