Porkys

Hey all,

The course is going well, it's a lot of work but I will get there. I've been teaching my first class all week, and really enjoying it. It's a lot more fun than I thought it would be, still have a lot of things to improve on, but I'll get there.

Also I have found the greatest lunch place close to the school. Porkys, it's a tiny little shop that sells nothing but pork sandwiches. They have a big lump of pork in the front of the shop, and a guy who just sits there and carves the meat. They make em with tomate, onion and chilli. But I've been in there so many times in the past week that the lady who makes them knows not to put tomate or chilli on my without me asking. What more could you want? A drink? They do fresh squeezed orange juice for a sole. Can't get better than that... Or so I thought, I have heard a rumor of a place that does a hamburger and a coke for s2.50. And I am told it is more a steak sandwich than a hamburger, a massive lump of steak on a roll. Will have to check it out and let you know...

Oh yeah, I just went for a ceviche (raw fish) lunch with the people from the course, and to go with it they served a drink called "leche de tigre" or "milk of the tiger". Turns out it is the juice they marinate the fish in, and it's called "leche de tigre" because it is meant to make you strong like a tiger... Grrr....

Later
