Pictures and Highlights

Picture Time!

This will be a short post in terms of how much I write, but it is finally time to put up some pictures! Hurray!

In the Classroom
Here are a phew photographs of the classrooms that I spend most of my time in.

This picture and the one below are the same room

This is one of the smallest classes I've ever been in. The classes that go in here range from 3 students to 15 students (which takes up every seat).

Here is the back of my other classroom where I've been teaching physics. As you may be able to notice, the students come from a variety of cultures (and ethnicities).

 A Recent Holiday
Me and three other teachers went to a place called Eden. It was about 20 minutes out of the city and was kind of touristy. Still, I saw some pretty nice things there. Also, it was good to get some fresh air and the company was great!

The meal I had there. All of the fruits were grown there. Everything was delicious, though I'm not sure I trust the meat color.

Americans?

I think we look pretty much alike.

This picture may look edited, but that plant 

He is apparently a Dutch diver and I simply could not resist taking a picture of a man with hair like that...Pullin' a Baner.

Look at how huge that is! (Using my hand as a scale)

This is what many of the houses are designed like, especially the farther you get from the city.

A view of the city Davao, where I live and do my student teaching. Look carefully and you can see mountains in the background.

Pretty flowers...

My walk to school...

Every day I have about a 10 minute walk to school. Here are a few pictures that show the neighborhood I'm in.

This is the view right outside of the house I'm in, looking in the direction toward my school.

This is right about the midway point. Damaged buildings, litter, and brush fill the scenery.

Random animals roam the streets. Lots of dogs, cats, roosters, lizards, and frogs.

I think this is either or Korean or Chinese church near the half way mark.
