The heat has been uncomfortable - its not at all like the lovely weather back home lol. I am kinda getting used to it but everytime I go outside it really hits you.... and inside usually isn't that much better :-( you can't really escape it..... All I need to do is drink heaps of water and harden up haha! Having a fan in my bedroom makes it a lot more comfortable at night.
The language barrier is difficult - especially in the classroom. The kids are still learning both their native Arrente language (although this is their first language and is spoken with their parents) and English so lessons can be split between the two. The kids often don't understand me and I am trying to get my head around how words are said in the local language but I am not going to be here for long enough in order to get the hang of it..... however you can get around this easily with actions and rephrasing words + there is usually someone around to translate or help out anyway. There arn't too many home comforts or people I know here - life is simple here and even though things could be a whole lot better for me with more air conditioning, cellphone coverage and better access to the internet (the list goes on) blah blah blah...... however I really need to take a step back and understand that life is simple here and even though I could make things a whole lot better for myself, I don't think I would grow as a person because of it! In someways its good that life isn't complicated for the people of Santa Teresa because when you start adding city life to the country... you start adding city problems.
People are friendly here, they are genuine and usually say 'hi' and want to know who you are and where are you from. The brothers are really helpful and welcoming, I am slowly getting to know the staff and students of the school so I will get used to life here in no time :-) and maybe in the process encourage others to come over sometime. Friday is always a half day at the school so with an extra long hour session with armtour, then writing and finally singing practise before going home for the weekend. Then the brothers and I went into town where I was treated to a lovely meal of Fish and Chips (or 'Fush and Chups' as the auzzie brothers tried to put it in our lovely NZ accent). The rest of the weekend was spent either chilling at the brothers house in Alice or back at Santa Teresa on Sunday. However I did end up walking up to the top of the hill to the cross overlooking Santa Teresa. After a nice restful weekend I am hopefully ready for what the next week is going to throw at me... stay tuned!!

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
