Day Nine: Bebos and Break Dancing!

This afternoon Chris, Allison, and I (Joe) had the opportunity to interect with some younger students at the Quluaq School. While posting our blogs in the computer room, which was filled with other Inuit students, they humbly asked us to join a thing called "Bebo." This thing called Bebo is very similar to our facebook and/or myspace. These kids were very tech-savvy, and were very willing to help us with any problems we were having while creating our very own Bebo, (mainly Allison who had quite a few issues).

Now just the night before Dalen and I (Joe) were invited over to one of our host families friend's house to meet her son Todd, so we agreed and walked over. When we arrived we were welcomed with Todd spinning on his head in the middle of their living room!After getting to know them a little more I decided to give it a shot, and found out that i could kind of do it. Todd was very informative and helped me get the right motions down to make it as easy as possible.

And it's not just Todd, there's actually a talented group of students who have formed a hip hop group. So later that evening we attended a hip-hop competition at the C-Hall it's kind of like a Community Center, and we watched a lot of young people and a couple others that were adults out on the floor break dancing. After a while of us watching Todd came up to me and told me to come out and join him and John out on the floor. Here is a picture of me attempting to do a head spin!
