Hello everyone! Another week has passed, so we're now one week closer to our next half-term break. There's nothing exciting happening at work other than we've started negotiating a possible contract for next year, just in case we decide to come back. But, we went into London for the day yesterday with our housemates and visited Madame Tussauds wax museum. It's amazing how realistic the wax figures look. Enjoy the pictures!... read more

Bonjour mes amis! (Hello my friends!) We have returned from the last 6 days of our European adventure. We arrived in Paris on Saturday December 30th later than expected because our flight was delayed. Our first business, as usual, was to find our hotel. This hotel was certainly no Swissôtel like in Zürich! Since it was the holidays, rooms in Paris were quite pricy. So we booked a room at a more affordable hotel located just outside central Paris. Let’s just say we got what we paid for! We learned to make no assumptions about what we think a hotel typically provides. This hotel didn’t even provide us with shampoo! But, our room was decent and the bed was comfortable enough and we got a breakfast buffet every morning. We purchased a 5 day travel card ... read more

We arrived in Zurich, Switzerland yesterday and we will be here for four days. When we arrived in Berlin, we found our way to our hotel without getting lost! We took two public buses from the airport to get to our hotel and were surprised by the good quality of English the drivers spoke. At first glance, from the ... read more

What a busy week it has been! Despite the chaos at work of having to mark exam papers and submit student grades by Friday, our week turned out wonderfully. Today is our one year anniversary! We celebrated our anniversary yesterday by spending the day in London. When we arrived in London we ventured to Leicester Square, which is a pedstrianised square in the west end of London. The square is lined with shops, cafes, restaurants and theatres. Something weird must have been happening on the weekend because there were at least a couple hundred people dressed up in santa suits! We had some lunch and then went to a box office and bought tickets to go and see the evening production of the musical Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. The Apollo Victoria Theatre is located ... read more

We're completely knackered! That's about all we can say! For some reason this past week has been incredibly busy. We had a hell of a start to our week on Monday. We went to catch the 7:30 am bus, but it never showed up! We ended up having to take a taxi to work when we realized the bus wasn't coming and we'd be late if we didn't do otherwise. We later found out that our bus had broken down on its way back from its previous run. On Wednesday night we were at the school by 7 am and then didn't leave until 8 pm. We both had to create exams for our year 12 class (Will had to make a Statistics exam and Bri had to make a Core 1 Algebra and Functions exam). ... read more
