Teaching and Downloading v.2 - Both take a long time

Ironically, our post about downloading didn't successfully post. Here's a second try.


Lecturing at the different universities and high schools has been a rich experience. The gap between resources at the schools is enormous. Some students are completely unfamiliar with the Internet while others are equipped with laptops and wifi.



Some days, we lecture in a tin-roof shed with 30 students (top picture of Bright Angel's college, which is high school). Other days, we have an auditorium of over 300 students (2nd picture of Bugema University). We never know what to expect until we arrive.




We find that we have a lot of time here, but also everything takes a long time. If there's anything that's a reminder of American impatience and multi-tasking, it's trying to download things from the Internet. We are in the 24-hour process of renting our first movie from iTunes...haha. However, we're learning from the slower pace of life.


(Update: We completed the download after 36 hours of timing out and resuming)
