Biru means Beer (ooh!)

First day of orientation at the school started yesterday. So all the new teachers got to meet all the other new teachers (21 new teachers in total). So many new teachers this year due to a lot of the other teachers having fears over last March's earthquake situation.

Some random facts about Canadian International School:

• 21 new teachers
• about 70 teachers in total
• Kindergarten to Grade 12
• 257 students

Un-school related... some new teachers and I went out exploring the last few days. This cartoon represents what basically happened:

I thought this comic was hilarious when I saw the original at one of my favourite gaming webcomics, Dueling Analogs. Here's the OG:

This fellow needs to use 2 hands...for shame...

On another side-note, I spotted this interesting pairing of hand soaps in a public washroom:

I chose the "non-flammable" one.

Today is Friday...so that can only mean it's "all you can eat AND all you can drink" day all paid for by the school. COMPAI! (cheers!)
