Day 11: School’s out for swine flu

Plan: Go to school and find out what the heck is going on.
We woke up bright and early today, ready to attend our 7:15am class. To get as much sleep as possible, we skipped out on any substantive breakfast and opted for a banana each to hold us over until after classes. We hopped into a rickshaw and made our way to school where the general lack of many students was a pretty good hint school was indeed closed. But it was also very early and we felt it was best to make sure. As we entered the central building, the gates to the upstairs were locked and a paper posted on the gates informed us that yes, classes would be cancelled until the 18th of August! From there, we wandered back home and after a significant nap, decided to explore more of the area around our hotel, looking for an ATM. A stop at the internet cafe, a lot of stuff about Swine Flu on TV, and a nice supper were the only other highlights of the day.
