At the end of the day I find myself with noSIM card, no Internet, no way to contact or entertain the outside world, some food, no breakfast, two lectures to make up, and a cracked skull. I could use a bath...
I decided that the only necessary comforts I need in life are: toilet paper, water, and AC.
We have gotten into a predicament with our host. She expected us at a meeting one hour ago and we failed to show. Why? Because both of our hosts left and didn't inform us that we needed to leave - in fact explicitly told us to stay. As if that's our fault.
Later on we attend a class and are asked to speak. I'm volunteered to introduce myself which I do. I say a few words. The teacher then essentially asks us if we have anything else to say and we say no and go.
When we return to our meeting, much to the hosts surprise, she expected us to teach the second period! How were we supposed to know that? We were dismissed!
Enter the concept of "saving face." we deducted that the teacher lied to the director about our instructions. She grilled us about who talked and said what, but later Sheri explained what she think happened and how we weren't in error. She explained that we were professionals (as if I am!) and that shooing be treated so poorly by her. Duly noted!
Yes, from my forehead to under my scalp. It is a little bloody reminder of the sign I ran into. Next time, they should make americans.. smaller.
