these guys are desperately trying to go native!
sorry, you can only see me from the back!
So, yesterday (Monday) was my last day with these European and American guys. It was quite a busy morning at school since we celebrated the birth of Muhammad earlier. But it only lasted about one and a half hours. At 8.30 the guys are ready for their good byes. I managed to have them part with all the kids one by one which was really heartbreaking as we like them a lot. They had been super lovely!
At 9.45 we went to Karang Jati Swimming Pool along with probably 45 kids. We had this special conversation class with five different stations-swimming pool, parking lot, park, restaurant and body spa. The kids also managed to make drawings, a kind of caricature for the guys.
Next we had lunch. Alex and Art crossed their legs so awkwardly as this's not their custom to do such things. Well normally they have this dinning table and chairs but not that afternoon. Michal, Alison and Janka seemed to do it better, I'm not sure if they felt comfortable though.
As soon as we finished our lunch, we went for swimming. This was the worst part out of all my time with them. I have always felt insecure about swimming. It was like my second biggest nightmare (I'm not telling what is the first). However I joined them, though I didn't swim at all (well, technically I swam a little bit as I did this sliding in the water a couple of time).
Art splashed water on me like many times and I was so proud of my self that I managed to fight back. I was so not going to let him go with that. HAHAHA. Alison taught the boys this Canadian thing called Lumber Jack. I didn't really get how it worked but it seemed fun.
Then it's time for the spa house. The boys were having their body massage when I got there, while Janka was having this hair treatment. Alison got the last turn so that by the time the other guys finished, she started hers. All of us had to wait for the girl. Then Art started this joke when he saw one of the beauticians wearing this mask, he asked me this tricky question: "why is she wearing that thing? Do we bule stink?" I was like oh my goodness, how could he come up with that crazy idea? I answered, "No. of course not." Then it just crossed my mind to have a go, so I said, "Do you think you stink, Art?" I felt so good to see his reaction on the question. He took this deodorant out of this plastic bag and sprayed it over his body. Right after that he came to me and made me smell it. Gosh, Art! I am so going to miss you. HAHA
I drove the guys back home at 5 in the afternoon. So we parted. It was hard as they have been part of me now. I asked the girls if I could have a hug. And Art made his last go that day by saying, "is it inappropriate if I have a hug too?" Oh he's hilarious. Thank you very much, guys! It's been such a pleasure! xxx
