Well, i arrived in Kenya on Wednesday 7th and was met at the airport by Samwel Langat and David someone and we head off to Chagaik. The roads are thopuroughly interesting!!! Very bumpy!!! And i mean very!!! lol. Chagaik school is situated in the tea fields with the mau forest in the background. its is soo pretty here! ive done quite a bit of stuff so far, have taught some english lessons which was interesting! lol. had to teach 'telephone etiquette' i felt so stupid, but hey! lol. my little house is quite cute, however had a fair few ants in it the other night which was a bit iffy. have stayed with some teachers at the weekend and today i went to one of theirs houses in the village and milked a cow!!!! lol. went for a walk the other day and was shown how to pick tea (you pick the top two leaves n the bud) and we walked to the tea factory. ive learnt some phrases; mimi ni rafiki yaku = i am your friend!!!
its lovely weather here, i got a bit burnt one day but am ok now. lol, i really dont understand how hannah decided not to stay at Chagaik, im having a really good time!! am missing everyone though!
have been chatting to some students n people n comparing things in kenya with england. One guy that i was chatting to last night saide a couple of his friends had been suspended for 2 weeks for being found drunk, and not even drunk at school. lol.
am finding getting on the internet a bit harder than thought, but its ok. tis quite cheap, only one shilling a min, n its like 149 shillings to a pound. so all in all tis quite good!
but yeah, i should probs dash. keep in touch, it would be lovely to hear from peeps!!

lol... I find it highly ironic that you were asked to teach 'telephone etiquette' considering that whenever we ordered chinese you made me do all the talking on the phone...! SO glad to hear from you, and to hear that you're having a good time, I've been worried about you missy! Keep in touch, and I hope to hear from u soon, I'll send u an email soon! Muchos love to you (and Chagaik), Lila xxxxx
Hi Lyndsey
