Cane

Cane
Today I got to school later than I hoped but I was on time for my class. But what bothered me today about school is that a couple of boys were caned, meaning they got their butts wacked with a stick. I’m not exactly sure what they did that got them in trouble, but it must have been good because this isn’t something that happens a lot here at the school.  I must admit it really bothered me. I almost left the classroom and went to see why it was happening. I know it’s a cultural thing here and obedience is a must but for the life of me I don’t know if anything is worth being caned for. I’m going to try and find out what really happened next week. I’ll ask Richard, the man I co-teach with, and see if he knows what happened.
Well that being said, before school I was hungry so I went to Alice’s shop and bought some chips and a soda. Now so you know, Chips are french fries. I don’t know about anyone else but I like to have Ketchup with my chips, however the ketchup here is not ketchup at all. Here they consider tomato sauce ketchup. Frankly it’s discusting and it has no flavor except for tomato. So the first time I went to the market, I saw Heines Katchup on the shelf, needless to say I bought it right away. I am so glad I did. Not that I have chips everyday, but when I do at least they taste somewhat like home. 
OH I found a TV station that has some American shows on at various times during the day. Unfortunately none of the shows are what I watch regularly so that sucks, but at least I can view American TV when I want.
