THE STUDENTS-- ALL OF THEM

I rented my bike to Vittorio, the Venezuelan student, for 20 dollars. I rented it to Dong Soo, my Korean student last year, and now it's almost payed off! 20 dollars is a good deal to have unlimited use of a bike for two months. Then again, old students sell bikes at the school all the time for 30-50 bucks.

Mike the Russian plays the Wii all the time.

Michel the French is still gone 18 hours a day. He even admitted yesterday that he "doesn't live here." He is my first student that I have had like that. Of the three weeks that he has been here Michel has eaten dinner with us twice. Isn't that crazy? And expensive, if he is getting his meals downtown.

Gregoire the other French is still sweet and dresses like a true European tourist. He bought this hilarious sun hat and wears capri pants.








Carlos the Brazilian is enjoying himself tremendously, and he has purchased a new laptop, an iPod, and lots of clothes since he has arrived. He talks with his family daily on his computer. I got to meet his kids on video phone. They are very cute.

Jimmy the Taiwanese (that's his English name) is nice and social and has already made some good friends since he arrived three days ago. He might be like Michel and I might never see him. That's ok, though, because it means that they are having fun and I have less work.

That's my update!
