Today I gave my family their presents
I got t-shirts for my host brothers and father and bags for my host cousin and mother. I also bought a big thing of Ghirradelli, a magnet from my hometown, and a picture book of San Francisco
My host mother, father, and cousin's English is very limited, so we're working on closing the language gap
Also, apparently I missed the orientation yesterday, so a volunteer picked me up and we met a staff member at a nearby Starbucks. If you want to know what Egyptian Starbucks is like, go to your nearest Starbucks and imagine more choices of food and coffee-free frappichinos
I found out today that there is a German exchange student here who will be going to my school. I am very excited to start school because I will be able to make friends and meet people my own age
I took a nap today and I'm extremely confused because I have no sense of time right now. My brain is either tired, or not tired, hungry or not hungry. I don't even know how I'm feeling right now
This evening my host family and I sat on the porch and drank tea... yes I, Corie, drank a whole glass of tea. Shai akhdar (green tea) to be exact
On the porch I figured out how to tell people I am allergic to nuts and shellfish (which might come in handy someday). That's about it for now
Here are some pictures. Ignore the finger in the camera, I taught them how to use it ten seconds before
