Lately, I've been sending emails home which somewhat jokingly say "I'm never coming back to work in Canada". Although this is said as a joke, it is a good indication of how happy I am to be teaching overseas. I feel as if I have made the right decision in regards to which teaching position I accepted and I am grateful everyday that I am surrounded by so many wonderful co-workers.
It is unbelievable how many different people I have met since I arrived a few weeks ago. Today while my friends and I were looking at gorgeous apartments, we met a guy from Windsor. Canadians seem to be everywhere. The other real estate agent was from Tunisia/Paris. This idea of living somewhere for awhile and then moving somewhere entirely different really appeals to me. Maybe I will be an ex-pat for life?
Last night, we went to a dinner at a teacher's house and I had my first 'bunny chow', which isn't actually rabbit. It's a South African curry dish, served in a bread bowl. The food was amazing and it was great to be with co-workers.
We have this week off for Eid, so I am hoping to do some fun touristy things. We are going to the Museum of Islamic Art sometime this week.
Well, that's all for now.
