Day 2 of Orientation is simple: Bank forms, basic policy information, Work Visa related items including a blood sample for HIV testing (required testing in order to receive the work visa). The fascinating part is with a married couple only one person has to provide a blood sample. It just depended on if your name was on the list or not. I won the lottery, my name wasn't on the list. Dereck had to provide the blood sample. SORRY HONEY!!
The rest of the time was spent working on the classroom.
After work, many of us took a bus to go check out one of the local clubs that is geared towards expats (requires membership except for attending today with the school). It was great to sit down and socialize with our new friends.
This city has quickly become home. We're adjusting well, so far. Give us another month or two for the real answer. I'm grateful I at least have my husband here with me as a few of the teachers had to leave their spouse in their home country until the work visa is finished to allow a spouse visa. Everyday is an adventure.
