EduGlu Sandbox

Yesterday morning I met my new boss (Samson) for the first time and also got to see the university campus and my new desk. The campus is only a short (10 min) walk from my house, so really convenient and think it’s the first time I’ve ever lived within walking distance of work!

In todays language session we started to learn how to tell the time, which would be so much easier if Ethiopia didn’t use a different system - their day starts at 6am. So 2pm in ferengi (foreigner) time is 8 daytime in habasha (Ethiopian) time. Even our teacher was getting confused when he was asking us to translate one time to another.

All is still going well, have now got rid of my tiredness from the travelling and a little bit of altitude sickness. We’ve been having language training for couple of hours every morning and then been out trying to practice it in the market and shops around - with a fairly good success rate, haven’t been over charged too much yet.
