Saturday, September 7th - The Avenues Mall

Today is my last day before seeing my students at school. From what I hear, the grade 7's are the worst class ever (I have them for math and phys. ed.); they were the worst class last year and the year before, so ... we'll see. I figure I'll be OK as I'll be teaching 2 periods a day (either 120 or 160 minutes/day) and I see each class for a total of 75 times all year ( not that I'm counting but ... I'll let you know when I start!). I've got grade 7 math, grade 8 math, grade 11 math and grade 7 phys. ed. It should be fine.

We went to school this morning. Jacqui worked in her classroom and I met three new high school teachers that just came in on Thursday night. Afterwards, we went to the Avenues Mall. We had lunch and then walked around for a bit. We ended up in the Prestige section of the mall; it was simply amazing. Here are a few pictures of what we saw. We then walked back to Ikea, to where we were getting picked up to return home; it was a 15 - 20 minute walk!

This guy was just "hanging around" (the legs you see belong to the kid next to him)

Fountain and dome in the rotunda - pretty impressive

Yes, I am in a Mall but can't afford to shop in that section of it!

Yep, first one in Kuwait and I don't think they sponsor TimBit hockey!
