Today, this Noah was in the internet mafraj chewing gat, and so I chewed a bit with him. Damn, that stuff is nasty. I could only take that chunk of leaves in my cheek for like an hour. They say you need to do it several times for two hours, at least (the yemenis do it for much longer, but maybe I'll pass. I'm already freaking out about money. and then I'm like "chill, dana" because really, if it ends up being that big of a deal, I can go home in December, or as many have suggested, teach English. (along with going home, or leaving in some way because apparently, you just need the break)
One of the teachers asked how my course was going. Apparently, it is possible to add more hours if I so desire. However, I think I'm going to take this month at least with just two hours a day. I'll think about adding more hours later.
Learning veggies (gag me with a wooden spoon) fruits (much better) and numbers (much needed!) so far in class this week. (given today is day one of the week, assabt)
Pictures up of a local fruit juice shop, whose love for sadam is apparent in the posters plastered over it. Sana'a is covered in posters of the President, Saleh and Sadam. The due was sure to point out the one of Sadam with his bint, daughter.
I'm meeting some very interesting, nice, cool people. The institute is overrun with Americans right now. Though there is a good European population as well, I honestly have no idea how many people are here now, though.
