Typical School Lunch.
Friday, March 6th, 2009Not one of the better days. Although I did enjoy the fruit (can’t remember what it was called.)

Not one of the better days. Although I did enjoy the fruit (can’t remember what it was called.)

Some of the health checks that the kids go through at school here are crazy. Last year I watched them get probed in the ear, nose examined, tounge scraped and blood taken. This year, they all need to pee in a cup! What the hell? I don’t remember doing anything like this at my school. I asked the girlfriend, she said they all had to dump in a cup also when she went to school.
So, so wrong.
Ok, this is a diary entry written by one of my students. I’m wondering if this student actually worked this out all by themselves or used a translator. I’m thinking the latter. Here it is:
I Love Tabletennis
It is finally the entirety. I cancel it in a typhoon yesterday… All and time to spend on 1st. I love clube. A breakthrough safe as for the paire of me and Matuda! After all I took my ease and I ate it and thought it to love true club activities in all and time to spend! It was good that practice with all one week again because I was win!
Now I kind of understand what they are trying to say, but how in the world would you end up with a sentence structure like that? Still, its not the funniest diary I’ve marked so far. One of my favourites – “I’m a cannon, its a tennis racquet” – for a diary entry.
Turns out that I wont be visiting each class nine times. Ill be visiting them three times. First class is a self-intro, the second an actual class and the last – not too sure yet. Not really economical for my 6 week visit, but what can you do?
