The Dog Had Puppy But She Is Digging

Summary

I've finally managed to established media, and I have a house, is in the center of town and share with a nurse called Virginie, feed and name spaƱolizar Virginia. Yet we do not know much but it looks very nice. I am very happy with the house after seeing what they asked for some real slums. We paid € 350 each, all inclusive, which is fine seeing as the rents here are almost more expensive than in Paris.

Yesterday Virginia and I went to Surinam illegally, to buy things for the house, as there is around 3 or 4 times cheaper. Sounds like an adventure, but here is standard in the world and almost everyone goes 1 or 2 times a week for shopping. Getting off of the canoe are several is offering to take you to Paramaribo, and then several children want to make porters your purchases. I touched his face a beggar who after putting his hand in his face at least 3 minutes, gave him what had loose 50 cents, and was angry that I gave him little, that there has to 3 beers or 4.

Maroni River is the only thing that separates Guiana Surinam, and there are several ports of canoes that 3 or 5 euros take you to the city of Albina Suriname There in front of Saint Laurent. The Most canoeists are illegal immigrants, I was amused yesterday that the police came with the car honking canoeist port for the canoeists bitching because all stuck their canoe in the water and out clears. But both the cops and the canoeists took him to joke.

My trip to Saint Laurent was a little rough, it took me 56 hours to arrive. Elche left the airport to Paris and after waiting 16 hours could take the flight to Guyana , which makes a stop in Guadeloupe and Martinique, but 7 hours after leaving de Paris I got stuck in Guadeloupe, and we had to change planes to go to Guyana and it never came. So Air Caraibes (the company that flew) paid us food and hotel in Guadalupe and told us we would leave at 7 am, but in the end we left at 3 pm and Air France.

Well while I was in Guadalupe settled the issue of how to gar LLE Saint Laurent as it still was not sure how to reach, but when I was at the airport in Guadeloupe suddenly comes one with a girl and I said are you Raimon?, and I eh, who came because this was a friend of a friend of Melia, the professor with whom I will work, who was also trapped in Guadeloupe, is called Rudy and is very nice (he lives in the jungle), Melia had told I was there too and helped me a lot further to explain many things about Guiana.

not know how I was, so I asked several English appeared, I finally found the bar, asking a waitress if she had seen someone with funny accent. Melia told Rudy that I was very very short and, of course, was surprised to me, some are still surprised to see me because the joke is extended (if Elche is a town for those things, Saint Laurent more). Good or the case is that I came to Saint Laurent with Rudy.


I've been staying at home until Melia, who lives with Marie (another teacher) and Mary's daughter who is 3 years. Marie and Melia are very nice and treat me super well, Marie's daughter, Alice, is really cool is you supergrace and parties with her. I met a lot of French friends of his (almost all teachers think) and I'm having a great time seeing many new things are teaching me many cool sites. The other day I took the Charbonniere , a very nice of houses inhabited by the Bushinenges triangular (or something), and tried PARBO, a Surinamese beer is making rice and salt and lime. Then we went to the supermarket, prices are not overly expensive as I thought.


I have also been taken to "Chinatown" so you know where he is because if I need to crack or heroin (you never know), I really have been to see the fish market (on my pictures). Bought a fish here have told me I called akiba, and then we ate lunch. After the market have come home to let me fish and have led to a mini jungle cove where there is a restaurant boat, I have my first swim in the river Maroni, and I love it!

night we went to a party in an Amerindian village, and I took a volunteer in a clown show. We also went to a party at a house and then went back to the Amerindian village.


Al day after arriving at Saint Laurent, I went to meet the school where he works Melia and I will work myself. The school building is very cool and I have a lot of attention that most students are black, and although the morning when I was there were two fights, the students seem very bright and educated, if you see you say bonjour monsieur! You see them quite participatory in class. Another thing that I learned while in Guadalupe is that I will work in another school (fabric with the Rector of Guiana), 6 hours a week at Melia and 6 hours in another with some teachers who are called Julie and Frederic . Julie met her by chance Frederic at a party and do not know him yet, although I have talked with him by telephone.

I also bought a wireless card here and I can safely say that Orange Caribbean this is the greatest thief, loan shark, hustler history. Prepaid recharges expire here! Your refills 5 euros and if not spend it in 6 days you eat the balance, if you refill 10 euros, you have 15 days and so is the thing. What a steal!

The other day I went to dinner with some midwives who met on the Internet before coming here and I could taste the local cuisine: Armadillo At a loss (a kind of cross between pork and dog) At a loss was the good, the armadillo was something else to eat because I served with the shell and the taste is stronger than other meats, but neither was bad. I also tried my first ti'punch, the local cocktail made with white rum, lime and sugar syrup is good too.

Well, I say goodbye for now. Soon I will have internet at home so I'll update blog more often. Greetings to everyone!
