I resemble that remark

I have been informed that people are comparing my blogging to my brother's. Which ok, it's been a week, but really he can go months without blogging. I really haven't had much to tell. I'm well aware that I'm in another country and that in and of itself is exciting, but I think y'all would get sick of reading in my blog 'I'M IN ROMANIA!' over and over. That being said, there have been a few funny incidents since the last time I've blogged. At lunch at the family center one day, one of the Romanians wanted to know if Rebekah, one of the students, wanted a plum. Rebekah said no thank you, but the woman persisted going so far as to basically climb up Rebekah and shove the plum in her mouth. Not something that happens everyday here and one of the funniest sights I've seen. This past weekend Mama C's-who the first time I met I wanted to call Mrs. C, but I didn't think anyone would get the Happy Days reference- brother in law was visiting. We were at dinner on Saturday night and Ali was asking Mama C, Anita-our sister, and me what animal we would be if we could be any animal. Uncle came in and sat down next to Ali and Ali, assuming he didn't speak English, turned to Anita and asked her to ask him what animal he would be. Anita, laughing, turned to her and said 'ask him yourself.' Yeah, he definitely spoke perfect English. This week a woman from America who is on the advisory board is visiting and today gave a seminar on teaching techniques. Since my secondary practicum experience is going to be in the kindergarten starting in October, I was required to be at this training seminar. Most of it felt like an art class. At one point the advisory board woman was talking about different supplies you can use to help the child recreate something they've seen. She mentioned chicken wire. One of the Romanian woman, who speaks pretty good English, turned to me and said 'chicken wire? there's wire that comes from chicken?'
