A special thanks to Freespirit
Hwei has done me an amazing favour of taking the time out to forward me copies of her movies that she made when she was travelling around the volcano. As a geography teacher i always try to make my lessons as fun and as exciting as possible; Hwei has added to my kids experiences and made them want to get out and see the world. Thanks Hwei for all your help 
If i could give you a school merit i would

Aww Bri it really wasn't a big deal to get those vids to you! I love sharing my experiences and I do hope your kids were inspired to go check out volcanoes in person. I wish that my geography teachers had done stuff like that, although I'm not sure that making me a bigger travel addict than I already am would've been a good idea.

Great job to both beergal and freespiritz! I think that teaching is among the toughest jobs in the world. When a teacher goes above and beyond to make learning fun for the kids, they are really doing their job!

Australian internet is all about the traffic limit per month. They usually have a monthly peak and off peak quota and if you go over, you're probably traffic shaped meaning your speeds will slow down to dial-up speeds.
Torrent it up! :P
