Pucker Up Man

So, I'm in the Delta area teaching English in this great country. It is a little different and little the same. I've met quite a few people here who speak a ton of my language. I'm enjoying teaching English to the nationals here. I am teaching sixth grade students for a couple of weeks. We have been going over simple things like frequencies, question words, and directions. Here is note of culture in case you ever come in country. It is common to kiss cheeks (same gender only) when greeting and leaving each other. I have come accustomed to this in this country only. I'm not planning on carrying this tradition back to the states. Listen up, you kiss on each side. You want to know which way to start on. You must go to the right cheek first. The national goes right every time. If you go left first, then you both end up in some middle ground w/ each other's lips puckered up. Not good.
