He offered me some port which i foolishly accepted. (It must be all this clean Swiss air) I say foolishly as i believe that as a fine teacher, I have standards to adhere to and must be a role model for the pupils i teach. I am after all, an upstanding member of the community......anyhow what this means is that since i have started teaching i have also abstained from drinking alcohol. :-)
So i drank the port wine which has 18% alcohol and within minutes I knew the alcohol had gone to my head.
I went back to my room and fell asleep more less immediately. I slept for 2 hours and almost missed the evening dinner which we had arranged...... and also the American Day explosions!!!!!
At least i made it for dinner which was a fantastic evening. I decided when i arrived i would try to eat as much of the local cuisine as possible, (apart from cheese which makes me sick) otherwise what's the point of visiting another country?
Sam and a couple of other teachers drove us out to France and we ate at a very nice Turkish restaurant. We had salad and steak all for the price of 15 Euros..... I'm not sure we could have eaten that much for that price in Britain. Then at the end, the waiter brought the bill to us.... in a shoe!!!!
