Salutations...

Hello,

Thank you all for the piles of emails, letters, phone calls, blog comments and desktop dedications we received with regards to Scrunchy Face. Scrunchy Face is pleased, yet still often...scrunchy.

Among the throngs of responders were requests for different kinds of pictures. Mainly pictures of how we've been spending our time and "regular everyday pictures of New Zealand people and places".

Well, the pictures of demonstrations we've attended can all be found on the main pages, archived pages and media pages of www.indymedia.org.nz

We haven't had the time to take pictures of random people/friends lately, but we'll try soon.

We went to the highschool I am being placed in for two weeks, this past Sunday to look around. We took some photos at the school and around it on the street.

The school is very interesting. Similar in some ways and VERY different in other ways. I am REALLY into Noam Chomsky's book "MISEDUCATION". It's really good, and compliments some of what I have been learning in university classes, and experiencing in the highschool that I have been placed in.

The placement ends next Friday, and I will have two other placements later on in the year. Next week I will be teaching a health education class (on tobacco) and two social studies classes.

We will try to get more pictures posted this weekend; until then...

We enjoyed the photos of the placement venue. We'll be interested to read of your experiences during the placement. As you probably know, the demonstration photos do not appear on the blog. I assume that this is a technical glitch and does not reflect editing by the site-keeper.
Mom's computer arrived today (her previous one was becomming dangerously unreliable) and we hope to have it set up on Monday. In the meantime, I am looking forward to hearing how you make out with skype and msn.

Love,

Dad
