(11 Jul 2014, 4:28 pm)Marcus wrote I'm off to Germany with the school tomorrow morning. Got to be at the school for 5:30 in the morning. Arrive at the hostel at about 9:00.
Spent the entire English lesson today in a class discussion - discussing Pokémon with my teacher
Somebody brought up Gameboys - and he suddenly had a smile from ear to ear and he burst out saying he used to play on Blue. Was absolutely creased - looked like he'd just won the lottery!
Potentially giving up my anonymity here - but we had a teacher who when made redundant from the shipyards - spent time travelling.
He often used to share tales of his adventures (better at that than teaching) and mentioned about a time he was in Papua New Guinea.
Wandering in the middle of nowhere, he heard electronic beeping coming from a short distance away.
As he got closer, he realised a kid from a tribe was playing on a Game Boy, left by a fellow traveller.
Presumably a stash of batteries were left as I can't see the leccy supply being too hot out there.
