New job and Global Village Dubai

I haven't been able to put much up due to my new job at a preschool. It's been 2 weeks now and it is going ok.  Teachers are what is wanted here, not social workers, so I'll be flexible.  The children are age 5, Emirati I think, in school from 8am til noon.  I have a helper but I have to plan and come up with fun crafts and teach letters and numbers.  Most kids don't speak alot of English which I why they are at this school.  I am managing it and taking it one day at a time.  I respect teachers alot more now, not that I didn't before.  I am sure I will learn from this and it will bring me new people and experiences.  I feel like life is leading me in new ways that I could not have predicted, but it's ok. 

The other week we went to the Global Village outside Dubai.  It is a big shopping camp with pavillions for countries or continents - Africa, Yemen, India, Turkey, etc - with stuff to buy and food to eat - honey, spices, elephant toys, Indian dresses, etc.  It's there for 6 months of the year.
