Okay, so I'm in the lovely city of Samarkand. No really funny stories since the last time, except apparently, there are reports of badly dubbed Russian Buffy on Sunday! I'm stoked, but I don't know the channel or anything. Cross your fingers for me, ok? :)
Samarkand is absolutely beautiful and it's got some great feature, including this lovely internet cafe right outside my hotel. It's actually five minutes into dinner as I write about this. They're playing all sorts of fun music, so it's kinda cool to be jamming around. It reminds me to work on my lesson plan on monday. I'm doing a lesson on Metallica for my tenth graders. "One" from ...And Justice for All. Did I mention that I'm having some bit of fun being a teacher? I mean what other job could you talk about Metallica for an hour with students. Hopefully it will get them motivated though, because they just stare at me all the time like nothing I say makes sense. And hey, maybe it doesn't! But I think it's a question of motivation. Look at how boring I've become! Talking about lesson plans on a blogger! I should talk about the marshrutkas. Now those are exciting. A marshrutka is a van for public transportation, a little more expensive than busses, but they're less crowded and you can pick where you want it to stop. But it's a question of when the marshrukas will crash. They drive crazy. Not like my friends from highschool. I mean, like they weave in and out of traffic with an inch between cars and such. Sort of scary. But it's like a roller coeaster too.
Anyway, got to go, didn't do everything I wanted, but that's life. I'll write soon. :)
