Well this morning I feel the learning is beginning to show. I finally managed to understand that the nice guy at shop checkout
(And it every other shop I've been in) was wishing me bon journee (have a nice day) after I did my shopping. This is nothing ground-breaking but its nice knowing what someone is saying in entirety, even if the whole exchange was just a few words.
However since making google translate my new best friend I've discovered there are a lot of ways to go about saying the same few words so that knocked me off my happy cloud. I can't for the life of me think if its the same in English, but I supposed you take being fluent in a language for granted, or at least up until now I have.
I've realise I haven't attached any pictures yet of my amazing surroundings, so I'll start with a picture of the volcanic backdrop taken from my lab window. Sadly the picture doesn't do it justice - I wish I could do panoramic shots!
I think my mission this weekend is going to be to try and go up one, or at least get to higher ground and see what the view provides. Fingers crossed the beautiful blue sky and sunshine stays.
