Hardest adjustment- no basketball!! They have some basketball hoops but the students don’t seem to understand how to play. (They all “shoot like girls”) The girls play a game called netball which sounds like what my mom used to play, no dribbling, no backboards … hmm… I think I meet have to teach these kids about the sport. I’m wondering if it will count for my community service project for IU, it seems like community service to me.
Things I have learned and questions from my students:
Apparently George Bush died
“Have you met JFK?”
Elvis Prestely died of constipation on the toilet
“Do celebrities just walk up and down the street all day?”
“What famous people are you friends with?”
“Have you seen my rubber?” (rubber refers to eraser…)
Everyone in American drives fancy cars… (I didn’t even start to tell them about the Grand Wagoneer)
