Spicy!!!

I went to lunch with the other teachers of the same course I was teaching, on the main campus. It was sort of an appreciation dinner for us by the department - where we also got paid.

The classes at the middle school went well. We started out with "20 Questions", dividing the class into 2 teams, using the rows they were sitting in. We also showed riddles for them to solve. Some were able to translate chunks of it, which was a good exercise. Since it was such a big hit, it'll probably be more of the same from here on out.

L. was getting really ill from the bumpiness of the ride back home. We got off and headed directly for a restaurant. We picked up some tofu and some kind of beef dish. Both were REALLY spicy, however, even for L.! We could barely finish them. Our waiter, named "Mouse", wanted to chat with us. He seemed eager to try his English with us. After dinner, we went for some ice cream, if nothing else, just to cool our tongues, and walked around the campus for a little while, just enjoying the respite from the rain.
