Strange week!
It literally began with a bang when the 7.4 earthquake in Iran qquivered its way down to Kuwait. Swaying high rise and rocking bed forced me to wake up- thinking we were having a storm with no sound, I got up and heard the bathroom doors banging and the buiding was still swaying...
The word earthquake never entered my head. I heard others out in the hall and when I opened my door was met by equal confusion. Many loud voices were outside and it was time to get downstairs and not in the lift! Eleven flights is a way to walk...
By the time we got down the building would have been devastated if that was to be its end but fortunately it wasnt! Yes.. earthquake it was. Googling gave na immediate answer as the Iran quake was already being discussed.
It was felt all throughout the Middle EAst.
If you look at Kuwait, you can see all these tall buildings. If you watch as they are being built, you realise that there is only sandstone beneath... the foundations look pretty thin as the buildings emerge from sand.
What a day....morning!
Parent afternoon and evenings were next - 24 hours of conversation about students. Stories? indeed and one day they will emerge!
Off to markets and dinner tonight- maybe some awesome pics will be offered up but hav every little this week. It has been a full on week of work.
Just thought I would show you some pics of my classroom, complete with marble floors, terrible acoustics and chairs that are straight out of a lecture theatre.
