Basically, he is working for a company that is hired by oil companies to train their new hires. Michael teaches Phase I which is conversational English. He's living in the building that has rooms for the teachers to live in as well as the classrooms; he said it's basically a two story house.

He said it's going well -the guys are eager to learn English and really nice. The weather is a lot colder than Kuwait and the power goes out often. He's on what we called Kuwait time, but I guess it's Iraq time too-they start class at 9AM, eat lunch at 3pm, eat dinner at 9pm. He said the food is awesome and there's a lot of bread and tea.
I'm so proud of him for doing this! It sounds scary to Americans and Kuwaitis-living in Iraq for a month. But he did his research, kept an open mind and is now having a great experience!
He comes back February 8th, then February 16th we're off to Tanzania and Zanzibar!
