Sidewalks and street smells!!

Okay, let's try to write this one without deleting it!! As we are walking around our neighbourhood we have realized that even walking the streets could be an Olympic sport. The sidewalks are scarce and one needs to be aware of the cars, buses, scooters and pedestrians trying to use the same space. I have been shoved by at least one granny on a mission, surely cursing this foreigner for staring at the signage rather than looking where I am going. We went looking for an adaptor this morning to keep this computer going and managed to get a free cord to connect to the computer instead...nice gesture from a complete stranger. It is nice to see there are good people everywhere. We also discovered Korea's version of Wal-Mart, the E-mart. Such a busy place, kind of like the Ikea stores at home on a Saturday only more people and signs in a language you cannot understand. We are also adjusting to the smells, which really are not that bad with the exception of the odd breaze from....the resturants, street food vendors, or maybe the ocean? Amanda swears this is the same odour plaguing Managua, so I guess this is a big city thing. All in all the smells are not as bad as I thought they might be and should be easy to get used to.

Tomorrow we start to teach and we are both happy to begin. Our body clocks are adjusting slowly and working will give us more sense of purpose. I am sure we will have many stories to share in the weeks and months to come.
