Asuncion Arrival

After spending 3 days in LA, attending a conference on media literacy, fishing at the beach, and taking a whirlwind tour of Venice Beach and Hollywood Blvd,  we embarked on our thirty plus hour journey to Asuncion.

Within an hour of our arrival we were at the school and had set up a cell phone plan and bank account.  Today, we found what we are hoping with be our new apartment.   Right now it feels like we are at some kind of teaching themed summer camp. We have done almost everything as a large group and we stick out when we're walking around the city.  We've listened to cultural advice, had a Q and A panel, and taken a walk around the neighborhood. The other new teachers seem like great colleagues and potential friends, however.  There are people here from all over the US, some having taught internationally before, and some brand new like us.  Things at the school have been chaotic, but everyone is helpful and friendly.

We're looking forward to settling in to our own place and getting to know the city. We'll post some pictures of our apartment and the school when we get settled.
