Sunday morning. My room mate is still sleeping, a cock just crowed (incredible, first time I heard that here, must be an imitation, a tape or somehting, no now it crowed again. There is a rooster somehwere here nearby, I can´t believe it). Well, I´m washing laundry and thinking that this past week has been really quiet, nothing special or exciting has happened that I could write about. No strange encounters, no big parties, no dramatic turns and no new aquintances. So I´ll have to write about my everyday life instead.

The only thing I have planned for today is a German class. I´ve been teaching the Aiesec gang German on Sundays. I think we´ve had about 3 classes sofar, which is not a huge amount considering the fact that I´ve been here almost four months (almost five months in Venezuela), but it is my tiny contribution to Aiesec Maracaibo. And is saves my Sundays, which would probably be pretty boring otherwise.

Originally we were supposed to have German and Spanish on Sundays. That is, first I would teach German and then there would be a Spanish class for all us trainees. But last time we met we decided to change the Spanish class into a conversation on a specific topic. That is, each week there would be a different topic to discuss. A very nice idea but we´ll see how it works in reality. I have no idea what the topic for today is supposed to be.

And yesterday we started a new level in Salsa. We passed Basic one and begun Basic 2. Maybe I should explain that what we are dancing is not traditional salsa but salsa casino. That is we don´t dance in couples...or we do but the couples form a circle. So we dance in a circle and change couples. There is a leader who shouts to everybody what to do and we follow. For example, "arriba!" (up) and then we dance in a certain way, then she shouts "arriba de verdad!" (and we start moving) "abajo!" (down), "abajo de verdad!" etc. It is really a lot of fun.

Gotta go.
