Journey of the stranger

Well where can I start, 1st day at training, this was very strange indeed especially as I travelled through the bushes and forest, leaving the world behind me to tackle a world that was unknown to me. This felt like my 1st day at boarding school in Uganda going up the hill to unfinished school that I had never heard of. Was I sure what I was getting myself into No, but well I was pumped to explore the unknown.
As I looked at my brother drive away it felt like that day my uncle and mom left me in that new school, then the similarities occured, a familiar face popped well all the way from Newcastle Carolyn. Well for those wondering what is the connection between an African Ugandan man and a Newcastlenian, FYI my immediate boss always smiling and supportive. That,s the connection smiling and laughing Jenn sidekick style. well since I was here I thought let me make the most of it.

Started apprehensive, saw familiar faces and the rest is like the Africans say stories of the past, week was intensive, very informative, interractive, brilliant team. Just awesome apart from the fact that I nearly ate the wrong food on a number of occasions FYI Only eat that which is halal. This is one of the most productive teaching time I have spent on learning and how greatful am I to the wonderful UKLC team right from Jenn and Carolyn, Laura, 1st aid Keith, Spanish tutor, Raffeale, Laura and the cooks and cleaners in Chelfont. Thank you am not one to complain alot so greatly appreciate everyone thank you.

Trip to Spain was flawless, worried about the weight of my luggage but thank GOD all went through, including my noodles which have come in handy this evening as I needed some kind of food. The ears as the plane dropped I thought were going to pop out of my skull, 1st time on a plane in 11 years. Before you start saying anything crazy yes i know ,,,,, but was great experience reminded me of the 1st time i landed in UK Erith. That's another tale for another day shirtless men in summer am like people need to have some respect, people on a train with paint and lining up for buses, I was like these guys must have alot of time on their hands.  Cherios looking forward to this week and exploring my hidden skills if I have any;;;;;;;;
