So as the evening wore on we began to teach classes of older pupils, by around 6.30pm we were teaching via mobile phone light as the generator wasn't working for a bit and i literally had a text book to my nose in order to read what the hell i was supposed to be teaching. By about 7pm more light was cast upon us and i could at least see the kids, however i could also see the utter feast that was being had by all kinds of crazy looking insects upon my person...i had flies and all sorts of shit crawling around my neck, arms, back and head. Lynsey wasn't impressed and between speaking and pointing at the board we were swatting flies at breakneck speed...!! By 8pm we were both pretty tired and bloody starving...no toilet, no break and no food since 12 and i was more than ready to retire for the night that wasn't before the bumpy bump, wet ride back in our tuk tuk...So first day over with,a bit of singing, bit of playing, lots of laughter and a real sense that we could help rather than hinder the English of students and teachers (even with our dodgy
Welsh and Scottish accents)!
