Hi everybody - just wanted to tell you that I arrived safe in NYC - the
flight was nice - the people are also really nice - we are a bunch of
international teachers recruited from all over the world not knowing
what is really going to expect us in a nyc public school -right now we
are all staying at the St. George's Hotel which is more like a cheap
youth hostel but in the best area called Brooklyn Heights - lots of
cafes and bars and the best of it is the promenade where you can see the
statue of liberty and the Manhattan skyline for breakfast at 6 o'clock
in the morning because we are still jet lagged - all day long we have
some kind of workshop where we learn about the public school system and
what to do if ...... (never mind - we hopefully won't get shot) -
yesterday we went for our first walk to Manhatten and saw ground zero -
quite impressive is all I can say - on friday we have all the interviews
with the school's principles and then hopefully we are assigned to some
areas (everybody is hoping for Brooklyn) and then finally I can go and
find a place to stay - well - so far - I'll write later ....hugs Dorit
