'Charrrrr'

I am now called 'chaarrrrr' and have started teaching in a orphanage just outside Siem Reap, I have two classes, one at 8am (hmmmmm), and another at 2pm. I only have about 8 children in each class which is nice because I can help them more and their english is already a pretty impressive. I was hoping to be teaching the abc and colours of the rainbow but I actually have to use my brain and make detailed and challenging lesson plans so they don't get bored and run out of my class....

Today 3 of them suddenly got up in the middle of the class and said 'char, i have to go, back in a few minutes...' whislt running out. I thought it was a little joke. Very amusing...new char and all that but they did come back in 'a few minutes' all carrying huge bundles of grass...then came and sat back down... random.

I had a little giggle when my student wrote 'my name is piseth but I want to change it to fanny boy'.
