Arrival

View from the place i work, you are looking at 'Waaigat'.





Green building is where i am working: Instituto Buena Bista!

Flight was very comfortable, i upgraded my seat to comfort class, which was good cause i was actually very tired and wanted to sleep the entire flight. Because of tiredness i was also very emotional. Tears sprang into my eyes when i saw the caribbean sea from my window. We landed first on Aruba, it looked very dry and restless, with dead american girls on the bottom of the sea, but that was just my impression. When i walked in the corridor of the airport in Curacao the warm wind gave me a welcoming hug, i heard boys chatting in Papiamentu, i was back! The lady that has been sending me all those nice emails, was standing with my name in her hands waiting for me. My parents picked me up and i went home!

It's wednesday, i'm at the IBB (Instituto Buena Bista) and getting known with everything. It's in city centre Punda. (see pics)
Yesterday i got my appartment. It's a shabby retro attic appartment, but for me it's perfect. It has a beach appartment feel to it, because it's all wood and windows allround. And it's not far from my parents.
I'm driving a grand cherokee Jeep, very powerfull, and fortunatly automatic. I don't care so much about cars, the older and shabbier, the better for me.
The kids i'll be teaching are between 15 and 25 years old, and they are a good mix of people, typical Curacao, from all different backgrounds. They all wear the uniforms of the highschool they go to, they come after school. I'm glad i'm before the uniform period. We did good in high school to always have been striking against uniforms, hehe.

Anyways, i'm need to do some groceries and such, i'll update you later about my appartment :) I wish u were here!!
