So...

The first week in the Gambia has past by in no time.
Most of my time I've used settling. A lot of boring stuff, like opening a bankaccount, trying to get a postbox and getting in touch with the different people that I'm dependent on while staying.

Today I visited the Catholic Education Center in Kanifing, near Westfield and meet my mentor for the comming 6 month, where I'll be teaching the 1st grade.

I'm really looking forward to start teaching these children, but I also know that it won't be an easy job.

First of all we will be have some difficulties ragarding the language. My english is getting better everyday and the words seems to come easier to me know.
The problem is the Wollof-language.
It's not easy at all, but I'm doing my best to learn as much as possible before September 24th, which is my first day at work at the school.
Right now I'm only speaking the basic sentences. How are you? Godmorning/night, I want to go to and such, but it's nice to be challenged and wollof is challenging.

The internetcafe that I'm using now is extremely slow. I'm using one of the newest computers, but I still have to wait minuttes to open a simple page like google.

Hopefully I'll be back on the net soon, I have some banking to do, but I belive it'll take hours to be done on these type of computers.

I'll keep in touch

see ya
