We both
slept for about four hours last night, waking up at around midnight (4 pm EDT).
Couldn’t fall asleep afterwards. We boarded the bus that takes us to school
around 7:15 (we get school transportation for the first week, while we look for
a car to rent) and got there around 8am. The first impression was good. It
looks very clean and is made up of a bunch of three story buildings; I guess they used to be villas. The school
goes from grade 4 to 12. Equipment and technology wise, it looks pretty thin,
again, but we expected that, so it’s not a surprise. We had meetings and were
done by 1 pm. Everyone is very nice and friendly. There are teachers from the
UK, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Egypt, India, Oman and Canada on staff. It’s
pretty cool to see so many different cultures working together. We headed home
with a colleague that lives in our building. We then went back to the mall to
get our phones functional and buy a few things. After that, we went to the
Crowne Plaza for a beer by the pool – they have a gorgeous view of the water - and
dinner at the hotel. We got back and just went to bed, exhausted! All in all,
it was a pretty good first day at work!
