Jacqui went in this morning to tell her new principal that she will not continue with CES, as it doesn't seem to be a right fit for her. It just didn't feel right. She will therefore take some time off, as I am now on holidays for 10 days, and we'll see what happens afterwards. I had a PD day today. Some things don't change; we worked on something that we know will not happen.
Speaking of holidays, we will be travelling to Dubai for a few days. We're leaving Saturday morning and coming back on Tuesday evening. The break will do us good; things have been pretty hectic basically since June.
After school, we met with another teacher and visited the Grand Mosque. It's a landmark in Kuwait City. The mosque holds up to 10 000 people inside, 50 000 outside plus another 100 000 when they close the streets around it. It was very impressive. We had a private tour as we were the only three to visit at that time. The two ladies had to wear an abaya (see pictures below). We had dinner after that at a local restaurant downtown : 2 schwarmas, fries, 10 balls of falafel and one soda for about 2.40 CAD. It was very good and fed all three of us!
