Im running out of names for these posts....
Not much goin on the past couple days. Just school and hanging around town. Still strapped for cash since Alex’s card came but can not be activated due to TD and their many failures. I think I’ve figured out what the name stands for now though. TeDious. Americas most convenient bank. Convenient is such a relative word, who exactly is it convenient for?
Last week we went out to our...
Swimmin
Ok before I get into this post I want to update on walk distances since I’ve been forgetting to do that. On the week of the 9th we walked 43.3 miles and the week of the 16th 44.2 miles.
Ok so on saturday we really wanted to go swimming and were told that 6 miles down the road was a place called Bullet Tree Road and you could go swimming in the river there and there were some water falls....
Blahhh
Not a whole lot to write again. I seem to think of plenty of things but always forget when I get near a computer. Oh well. Few things i’ve been meaning to say though. First off Belizeans make wine out of just about anything which is pretty awesome on its own but when I saw Banana Wine I realized I was truly in heaven :P
My dislike for this school system down here has grown a bit more as...
Short post....
not much to say today or rather not much time to say stuff. A few things I’ve been meaning to post but havent are some common things here but out of the ordinary for us back home. For example, car insurance is crazy different down here. Here you don’t have personal insurance but rather you buy insurance on a car in 1-10 year increments. So if say, I buy a car and get 5 year insurance...
Kayaking, the ruins, and our new canine comrade
Wednesday after we got out of class we met up with a couple of the other international students who told us they would be going kayaking soon and invited us to come along. Having nothing else planned for the day we went along with them. Mr Owen (the driver from the school) agreed to take us to the place and everything so we could save money on transportation fees, on the way we picked up Henry(i...
Schoool and other such things
So I suppose it goes without surprise that pretty much anywhere you go to school its going to be a disorganized mess. Galen is no exception. They have this big thing here where any information about ongoings at the school or things from class will be sent to your Galen email (like most schools do) Thing is Galen has yet to give any of us international students an email, but keep stressing to...
Picture Time
Ok so I wanted to upload the pictures directly to Tumblr but the internet is so ungodly slow down here that it would take me 7 months just to get them all uploaded. It seems imgur is a much faster way to upload them. I know there is a way to link a photo into a blog with tumblr but for some reason whenever i click on use link nothing happens. May be the internet speed or I may just be overlooking...
The First Day
January 2nd
Flew out of Philadelphia airport and landed in Houston Texas. From there we got on another plane to Belize. On the plane we met a really nice guy named Leo who is a native to Belize but was going to school in California. On the ride down we asked him all kinds of different questions about the country, where to go, what to see and do and he was extremely helpful to us. When we arrived...
