Frog

We have just been training again today, not much news but I took a few pictures which i hope to get up here soon. Robyn is sharing a room at the hostel with a girl called Nicki who is teaching primary school kids. The kids when they are young are either allowed to pick their own English names or they are given them by their parents. Letting a kid choose their own name provides the most hilarious results, so far she has had quite a few kids called 'Kinky', quite a few with old names like 'Trevor' or 'Alfred' and one little lad called 'Frog'. We found a great Veggie/chinese place two days ago for Robyn, and since have found a few more. I have only had one bad stomach experience so far sampling the local cuisine. This was not helped the next day when I decided to try octopus balls. Below is a spy type shot of the offending establishment.
