School starts on Aug 19th

<--This is our walk to school every morning.  It's a new development on the outskirts of Bandung.  It takes us about 20 minutes to get from our house to the school.

Well we made it safe and sound. We have begun to settle into the house the school has rented for us.

This first week is orientation for the new teachers, and the second week is In-Service teacher preparations. We are at the end of our first week and have had a crash course of Bahasa Indonesia. We'll continue with language lessons into the next few weeks.  Tiff and I have seen our classrooms, it's beginning to feel more real now.  We're starting to get our classrooms prepared for the students to come on the 19th. 

Ok here is a piece of our first Indonesian language lesson:

Kami tinggal di Kota Baru Parayangun.
We live in the new city of the Sundanese land

Here We Are...

Tiffany and I will be teaching this year at a christian school in Indonesia. Bandung Alliance International School. Tiffany will be teaching preschool 3 and 4 year olds. I'll be teaching middle and high school ESL. We'll be there for the next two years. Info post:

In the map above, the school is not yet pictured, but our apartment is there somewhere in the top right housing development. The school is almost finished being constructed, and if this picture were up to date, it would be attached to, what looks like an arm going off to nowhere, on the mid left part of the map. You should be able to put your mouse over the square and see it say "Bandung Alliance International School." Yep, there it will be/ already is. (If you want to zoom out and see the larger picture, click the minus symbol in the top left corner of the map).
