Why am I here? Holidays in Brazil

Many who follow my blog I ask that what I do here in French Guiana, and the truth is that the post I put that are the majority to have my vacation, can give the impression that I'm always on vacation, but no, no, I have a job: I am English assistant what is a English assistant? English As an assistant working with high school English teacher, in theory we have to work with half the class, maximum 15 students what do we do? As our mission is to make students speak in English and teach them things in our culture. We work 12 hours per week and not pay us anything bad for the hours we work. The truth is that few hours and have much free time, but otherwise, I assure you that depending on the group of students to tap the hours you can be more or less stressful. what how I ended up here? Well after asking to be 8 months unsuccessfully looking for work scholarships and one morning someone from France called me and asked if I wanted to go to French Guiana to work as an assistant in English, having nothing better to do I decided to come here and, for the moment, although I have been both good and bad, I do not regret having come to nothing, moreover, is an experience I recommend to anyone wanting to adventure and gain experience as a teacher.

The particular program for which I am here called "assistants" and requested through the Ministry of Education requirements vary by country, as requested, the main one being English, then the Most countries call for linguists, translators and teachers of primary foreign language. In my case, France and Belgium allowed CAP graduates with evidence that they know the language of the country. Not many people who want to come to Guyana as an assistant, in fact we are only 3 attendees English in Guiana and missing all filled, so if you ask to come here, you can probably get a job. Yo, is likely to renew my contract.

What are the students?

Depends on the city where you are is quite different origin of the students in predominantly Cayenne Creoles and the Brazilians, in Saint Laurent my students are 99% bushinenges and Amerindians Kourou and because there is a little bit of everything and whiter than elsewhere.

usually behave well and respect the teacher, although quite disruptive, but also fun, participatory and silly. Including whether they are more ill, especially among bushinenge see that there are more fights. The Amerindians are quieter, but the ethnic divide that prevails in Guyana is still present in the classroom, the relationship between bushinenge something cold and Amerindians. Interestingly the majority of Amerindians speak taki taki (language of bushinenge), but do not speak Amerindian languages \u200b\u200bbushinenge. The episodes of violence are common among students, and also tell me that there's even a drinking problem. Last year, without going any further, a theft of a mobile from one student to another (a bushinenge and other Amerindian) ended in a brawl with one student dead.

In total I have about 500 students, so each 2 by 3 I'm a student down the street or hear Holaaaaaaa or Good morning. The biggest difficulty that I find the time to teach is that attendees have to talk all the time in English, although sometimes inevitably speak in French for the class to move forward, because they get tired of making the effort try to understand you and your trying to explain. In addition to their French is not their native language, so that many have not mastered well and have many faults (me too).

How is education in French Guiana?

One of the institutes where the work is the one with the lowest average score from all over France, school failure is high in general, I believe that due to several factors: first, their cultures do not perceive going to school as important, what many parents do not value the education you receive your child and make them work when they return home. Secondly there are a large number of early pregnancies. If you already by itself, both bushinenges as Amerindians, often have a large number of children, social aid for each child gives France are having children becomes a job for many, this, coupled with early pregnancy causes many pupils lose interest in going to college and devote themselves to having children. To give you an idea, Saint Laurent has the highest birthrate of Europa.Y thirdly because there is a lack of both resources and staff and most teachers have temporary contracts. Efforts are made to improve the situation of education in Guyana, but appear to be insufficient.

Anyway, little by little, within 2 or three generations think the situation will change a lot, because most students perceived increasingly as important, the fact of receiving an education, and this is something to transmit to their children. The truth is that even in the "worst" Institute of France has very valid points that I hope students get to find the motivation to continue studying, as one of the main problems of Guyana Guyanese is the lack of studies, and this is for me indispensable for a mature society, because society francoguayanesa is, right now, immature, and divided society, with little fellowship among its ethnic groups. But all this has to change little by little, and that education plays an important role. So while you're here I hope to contribute my bit to improve on what education can and that my presence here will serve the students to improve in something, at least in English.

Forgive the "rollaco" I've released, but there are things that happen here that you really angry (and continue complaining)

here in French Guyana have 2 weeks vacation by Carnival did not have much money so I do not know what to do holiday, or where to go. A group of workers went to the carnival of Trinidad and Tobago, but as I was on vacation earlier and it was expensive I was not with them, so I decided to go to Cayenne to see the end of Carnival parade and spend a couple of days at home Laura, the assistant of English Cayenne is not going anywhere because you bought a car and was poor.

In another vein I contacted a girl named Isabel Elche, I did not know but we have a mutual friend and also is a neighbor of my friend Peter's school. For Elizabeth was to go to Brazil and then wanted to come to Guyana to find work, so I spent a few days in my house, until we went to Cayenne to make it speak to the Rector, to see if they gave him some work (so far not been possible.) From there it was in Laura's house and there is at the moment. But was good to have someone of Elche here and talk about things that nobody else in here I can talk.

Well, I'm still on vacation, Lorena and Daniella (Wizards of English and Portuguese in Kourou), went to Cayenne and went to Brazil on vacation, home of Daniella, so I went with my mates them, but I forgot his passport in Saint Laurent and was illegally in Brazil.

To go to Brazil from Cayenne have to take a taxico to the Oyapock Saint Georges, costs 40 € and takes 3 hours. Once in Saint Georges, you have to take a canoe to cross the river Oyapock Oiapoque takes you, and you're in Brazil! But our destination was the city of Daniela: Macapa, capital of Amapa state, and that is 12 hours bus. The bus is worth about € 20 to change, and takes many hours it is on a dirt road and also in the rainy season is quite chunga tá. After 2 hours, the bus for dinner, was there when I realized that Brazil was going to love it, I discovered restaurant called "kilos", you grab your plate, you fill it with whatever you want from the buffet and then weights on a scale, I was thrilled when I saw that my mountain of sausages, chops and steaks grilled over a Coke cost only about 3 € to change. After travel coñazo which is not sleep because the bus hit a lot of boats, we Macapá, and took a taxi to Daniella's house, he had not told his fam ily that came and wanted to give a surprise.

Daniella's family is charming and treated us incredibly well. The distances are quite Macapá large place to place, as it has 300,000 inhabitants and are all bungalows, so the city d is very large. There to thank Daniella's father to take us around here and there.

I was surprised the price of gasoline in Brazil, that the change costs about 1 € per liter, do not understand how Brazil can cost as being a producer, diesel costs a little less, but still expensive I do not understand how it can cost as much with Brazil as the second largest producer of bioethanol. Furthermore Daniella's father who is a mechanic told me that in Brazil do not sell diesel cars, commercial vehicles only and work not understand.

The day we arrived was the last day of Carnival, I expected to see scantily clad Brazilian dancing samba, but that was over, the last gave a carnival is the day when Men dress as women, so it was full of guys in drag ...

Macapá is a beautiful city, it has cool things to see. It has a fortress built by the Portuguese the banks of the Amazon, the area of \u200b\u200bthe Fort is a kind of promenade overlooking the Amazon and where bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Has your grace lunch, dinner or have a drink while watching the Amazon or simply walk.

is also one of the few cities in the world through which the line of Ecuador, and there is a monument with a plaque that says "feel the sensation of being at the same time into two hemispheres and as feeling as ... will not magnetize or give you superpowers or anything, but it is clear that we must take a picture with one foot in each hemisphere. In fact next to the monument, a stadium that has the line of Ecuador in midfield and each team playing one half in one hemisphere, is grace.

to go shopping is not bad, especially if you want to buy sandals, Brazil is the land of flip flops. As for the clothing guy, I saw the prices too expensive but not cheap clothes aunt if it was cheaper, the girls bought some 40,000 bikinis.

Daniela's father took us a day to a village called Curiaú, where I said you can only live if you're black, because it was a town founded by slaves, though I imagine to be an unwritten law . For the people pass a little river which is also called Curiaú, a tributary of Amazons. The river is beautiful (on my photo) and has a bathing area where there is bar is cool, drink a caipirinha while bathing in the Amazon is better than having one foot in each hemisphere. And on that site I discovered one of the best inventions in history after the wheel and the Internet, "or mucus two Quejinhos" a guy who goes with his portable barbecue out there, and sell cheese skewers, that boss! Do you say "mucus" and he comes and asks you how many skewers you want, you tell him and he'll do them, and each is worth 1 real spike (0.33 €)! So if, and there are several throughout the city, not just one.

party then went out one night and I really liked the atmosphere. The truth is I'd heard bad things about Brazil, which was dangerous and had to take much care, gave me the opposite impression, I felt safe all the time and the Brazilian people seemed very friendly, polite and friendly (especially the Brazilians). I imagine that like everywhere there dangerous places, but honestly I think of French Guiana more dangerous, as it is because I know more than Brazil, but I do not think you can generalize, certain that the favelas of Sao Paulo are quite chungas.

So in short:

Good things: the flesh, the prices of things, caipirinhas, the Brazilian drink a coconut looking at Amazon.

Bad Things: The lyrics are of love for Andy and Lucas's fashionable version struggle (the struggle is a type of Brazilian music)

PS: I hope to return in April vacation.
