Monday November 22.
Kristian and I got up early and went to the mall where his two businesses are located (he runs a kiosk bar and a kiosk ice cream shop, with his partner Luis), so he could settle his accounts. Then we drove to the Itaipu Binacional Dam. It is a huge hydro electric project completed by Brazil and Paraguay. They dammed up the Parana River (which is the river that divides the two countries) and created a huge resevoir. The facility provides 25% of Brazil´s and 90% of Paraguay´s hydro needs. The dam is 150 tall and 8 kilometres long. We had a bus tour around the complex.
Then we came back for lunch and a rest period before Kristian had to go to work. He works as an English language teacher at the FISK school where his father also works. He asked me to come along and talk to his students, so that they would have a chance to dialogue with a ¨native speaker¨ (his term).

After that his mom came and picked me up and took me home for a couple of hours of computer time. Then Kristian came back to pick me up to talk to his evening class. I had a good time interacting with a couple of his adult students. Kristian seemed to think they would benefit from talking to an English speaker. Then back for a quick snack, a talk and bed.
