One Week of CELTA Down

I can't believe we've only been here a week. It feels like I've known these people forever and that I've lived here for 10 years. It's so weird!

Our first Friday night we all decided to go out and have some drinks in town. We started on Cocktail Alley, a row of little carts that serve drinks for about $3-4.

The beginning of the night: Cocktail Alley

Clearly, the end of the night

Needless to say, not a lot got done on Saturday. So I decided to take my laundry to get washed and dried. A place just a block down the dirt road was recommended. We have since named this "The Jungle Laundromat".

Down this path, turn right, pass a cat and a chicken

The guy who owns the place I guess, is super happy to see customers. He carefully weighs everything on an old fashioned scale and charges you by the kilo. Mine was $2.40 for a small bag. They put perfume on your clothes at the end. It's very strong but actually smells really good.

Here I am trying to stay out of the mosquitos in my room:

And here are a few of my colleagues, relaxing and working on the patio area.

and my personal favorite photo:

So I'm off to rewrite my notes and work on tomorrow's lesson plan. Until next time...

One Week Down Teaching English in Loja

I have officially completed one full week teaching English at in Loja, Ecuador. It's been interesting, and I can't say I'm thrilled at this point. The way things are done here is so different than at home, it's hard to go with the flow. I was offered the job by the school's "international recruiter" which was interesting. There was really no interview, just a conversation about Loja. I was told I started Monday so I started thinking of a lesson to introduce myself and have students introduce themselves. My questions about who and when I would be teaching remained unanswered until Monday at 3:00 when I was supposed to meet with one of the managers. She was out that day. So I was eventually filled in, told that I'd be teaching teens. If anyone knows me, this was my biggest nightmare scenario. So I started Tuesday night, from 3-6, one hour each to 3 Teen classes at the same level which is supposed to be Early Intermediate since they'v...

Lovely Loja

Loja is absolutely gorgeous! It's even prettier than Cuenca, surrounded by green mountains. There are always big puffy cloud when the sun is out, or it becomes cloudy and drizzly and it's not quite as pretty then. I've been able to find things here -- laundromat, hair salons, post office, market,... My hotel is great -- Hotel Paris, and it's about $16 a night. It's a huge room, they clean it daily, it's in a great location, and it's fairly quiet. I think there are only 2 of us on the 5th floor. Even 5 floors up in a city, there is a rooster that starts at 4:15. I can barely hear him but it's enough to wake me up. Sunday is Market Day. I walked to one park and bought a lot of things from indigenous women selling jewelry and stuff. The other market is mostly a vegetable and fruit market but I got a few other things there. I can't wait to get my apartment and go to the market to buy fresh produce to take home! The town sq...

Arriving in Cuenca

I took a bus from Puerto Lopez to Guayaquil (4 hours), dragged my 70 lbs worth of bags all over the place, had a tantrum, and finally figured out where to buy a ticket to Cuenca and where to board at the Guayaquil bus station. I timed it just right and got on the next bus within 15 minutes. That busride was another 4 hours. Once we started climbing, we went through Cajas National Park which is absolutely gorgeous! Lakes and tall mountains all around, the bus zigged and zagged up to Cuenca. My hostel, the Posada Gran Columbia, was easily enough found with the help of a taxi. My first room was adorable, with a skylight. I thought -- cool! Until morning. The bright light woke me up at 6:00 and I still couldn't see outside. Check out the bottomless drawer in the dresser: So being a pain in the ass, I asked for a room with a window. I waited around the next morning 20 minute, then another 20 minute, then another 20 ...
