Week 5

This week found most classes putting together puzzles of cultural icons of Canada, America, New Zealand and Australia and matching the picture to its label. I had a very amusing time watching the confused faces when the students were confronted with words like 'bogan' and 'poutine', and even more fun when they matched things like 'redneck' to a picture of a wombat or 'pavlova' to Mount Rushmore. 

Over the weekend I visited Wroclaw with all but one of the volunteers currently in Poland (so there were 20 of us) and we all had a brilliant time taking over the hostel and catching up on the last three weeks. Wroclaw has a beautiful Old Town, similar to Krakow, but of course it has many little gnome statues dotted around so, in my opinion, that gives it one up on the former capital!
