White day (wear white with all the preschoolers!) and Teddy Bear Picnic day today at the preschool, followed by rushed grocery shopping, a failed Turkish recipe for dinner followed by a rescue operation, and a night of visiting and story-telling with Daniel (New Yorker Fulbright teacher), Paul (English foreign teacher at TED), Danielle (Brazilian foreign teacher at TED) and her son Emir (he's two; no job yet!), and Rosetta (Albanian foreign teacher at TED). We watched the movie, "The Full Monty" on the big screen (not the kids...). It was quite different to watch it with an Englishman who could comment on the location and situation at the time, and to read the subtitles on the film which are in English, but at times were in a "different language" because of the phrases.
