and now I have a job here.... or - how many things can happen in one day....
yeah - so many things happened here in the last 24hours and changed my travel plans a bit.... crazy....but all good.... and funny how those things work out some time.....maybe I was just meant to be in Antigua for a bit longer.... ;)so WED night there was a big football (soccer) game here.... GUATEMALA vs. PANAMA - one of the qualifying games for the World Cup in Germany next year....
Alex and I wantched it in the house of his host family cause they´re much more into sport than Marta Julia - she didn´t even know that the game was on until I told her about it.... ;) and the son and nephew of Alex´family came over as well to watch it, so it was lotsa fun...!! And - Gracias a dios - GUATE won a pretty exciting and partly ugly game with lotsa fights and cards with a last second goal in the 94th minute...!!! 2 : 1 !!! AMAZING...!! and a step closer to Germany for them....
A few people were celebrating in the streets here afterwards, but it must have been much better in the capital where the game took place... then we wanted to go for some coffee and Ice cream afterwards, but all cafes were closed already (22.20pm) , so we ended up in LA SALSA with Nachos and coke.... was fine too...
and yesterday morning I walked past Carlos Salsa Academy to say HI and was saying sth. to one of his students in German and funny enough the GUATE LINDA Language Center next door was looking for a German teacher and must have over-heard me and to cut a long story short - I have a job here for next week now...!!!
Gonna start with my first 2 students tomorrow morning from 9.00 -11.00am - 2 students from the capital who want German conversation practice - and then I have another student everyday next week from 8.00 - 12.30
so that was never really part of my plan to work on this trip, but it just came up and I have another week until I have to be in Cancun, well - plan and promised to be in Cancun, and I think it´s a great opportunity for a new experience.... of course, the money is almost nothing and I won´t get rich with this, but it´s gonna pay for a week accommodation and food here easily.... and compared to all those other people here who actually pay money to do some voluntary work in Guatemala or Central America it´s a pretty good deal I think....
I just won´t be staying with Marta Julia´s family next week - cause u can only stay in the families of the school when you are actually studying Spanish there - but I´m gonna move to a friend´s hostal just across the street.....really nice place too.... :)
last night it was also Alex´ last night here - by now he should already be in Costa Rica - and his super-nice host family had invited me to their house for his Goodbye-Dinner... really swet people.... and while we were having dinner they had the TV on in the background and were watching parts of the World Youth Day in Cologne and the arrival of the pope their and his speech..... nice....and it was funny somehow to here the pope and some german commentary on TV here in GUATE.... small world... ;)
later we went dancing at TOREROS with Sonia, Yash, another Alex and Victor... not as busy as the week before, but fun enough and met a nice dancer from Japan there....
but it was also raining a lot all day yesterday - yes, unfortunately it seems like the canicual is almost over now... too bad... and it was still raining when we left from TOREROS.... but somehow we all managed to fit into Victor´s car and he was so seet to give us a ride back home....
then Sonia and I ended up talking for ages about things and stuff y cosas.... and since were still up at 3.00am we went over to Alex´house to say Bye before he took his taxi to this airport....
yep, not much sleep last night and a un pocito cansada ahora.... tonight is also Hermance´s Goodbye Dinner and then I gotta prepare my first German lesson for tomorrow morning.... ;)
to everybody who reads this - have a great weekend und bis bald....xxxxx
