I'm in the middle of training for teaching English. Have met some nice people, although I seem to be the most extrovert which is a real worry. Luckily my Aussie sarcasm is filling the conversation gaps...
San Gennaro festival tomorrow. Big day in the calendar for Neapolitans. I will write you a story about the blood, procession and crowds.
I have finally recovered from the summer holiday and have started writing about it. I am only onto the second day of the trip and it's already up to eight pages...definitely material for my book. I think I will put selective bits of it on the blog.
There was a bombing in the commercial centre of Hat Yai, major city in southern Thailand, on the 16 September. Hat Yai is the city where I spent a year as an AFS exchange student. Gi and I lived and worked there in 2000 as well. It's like a second home. Five people, including a Canadian teacher, were killed and more than 80 injured. Six bombs exploded on Saturday and the following day arsonists attacked local schools and vehicles.
Spare a thought for our friends and AFS families that are living through this horrific situation.

On a brighter note my sister Kim sent me a photo of her two sons. That's them at the top of the page. Don't you just want to eat them up.
Cheers, oh, Gi is well, work is starting to pick up again.
More soon.
