So I have undone all of my previous packing. In a rather last minute decision I ended up with more stuff to pack. While visiting Seattle I went to a board game cafe to try out some educational games that I thought might work for my kids in Comoros. I ended up picking up four games.
Story Cubes and Tell Tale, as you can probably guess, are story telling games. Applelettes and Last Letter are word games. Even if the students can't play the exact game I figure I can still use them in my own games. And I also imagine that they have never had the opportunity to play these kinds of games in their classes, so I hope it will incite more interest.
I also received my first care package! It contains pictures of my friends, family, and cat. There are also little clips to hang pictures from a line pinned to the wall. I also received a lovely journal, some cards, and a fancy soap that won't melt in the tropical heat.
I also picked up some random stuff- a lamp, sharpies, luggage locks, and so on. In the end I dumped my previously packed hiking bag out and now it looks like this:
I'll have to start from square one. Four days to go and I'm moving backwards!
Good morning, how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because through them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Comoros Islands? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Comoros in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
