Today is our last full day before we go to our homestay families. Of course we only had about 1.5 hours of language instruction because the rest was taken up by other sessions. We did talk about homestay and some of the things we should expect. Most of it was the whole group together but we did split up by gender for a question and answer session. This was probably most useful for teh women b/c disposal of feminie products is different here. At the end, we watched a short (~15 min) video made by the group last year. Mostly, the landscape reminded me of Utah and it was the first time I felt homesick.
Laundry is done by hand washing here so I used the laundry soap I got yesterday and did some laundry. The soap is a bar that I rubber on my clothes and just left in the bucket of water as I rubbed the cloth together. I probably didn't rinse them well enough but I figure they are clean (not smelling anymore) and are good enough until my host mama shows me how to wash them properly.
As I serve in the Peace Corps, this will be my main means of communication with most people. I will update as often as possible but there may be long times between posts and then several posted at once. This likely means that I just found internet service. There will be typos as I will not waste preciouse internet time to correct them all. Like my other blog, I will date the entries when they occurred but the time-stamp will be 23:59, indicating that it was added after the date.
