HOS

Yesterday we spent at PC-HQ where we went through the Volunteer
Handbook (aka condensed rules and regulations) and ate some delicious
food. Afterward we played some Ultimate Frisbee; I was happy to be
running around again.
This morning, we met our Heads of Schools (HOS). Mine looks like he
stepped out of a 70’s cop show with his mustache, glasses, and
straight face. Seems he has only been at the school for a couple of
months so he is also new. Turns out that Uma is really close to me
though! Our HOS say it is 1km but based on my experience, it is
probably a few km. Anyway, it’s still wicked close for PCVs.
We were set free this afternoon and I was with a group trying to find
a Zain store (cell phone company) to buy wireless modems. We were
given directions and kept asking people on the street but never found
the place. We even tried directions from the website – we found the
address but no store. In the end we walked for at least a few miles
but I do know where Kariakoo is now (supposed to be good for spices
and other things). When we returned to Msimbazi, we found out that a
few other PCTs were able to call the store, which sent out a rep who
sold them modems. Dang. Just to note, we did try calling but got
nowhere with the automated system.
While hanging out tonight, I was sitting looking at my pictures of
home. Different people looked at them with me and I was told that both
my mom and dad are hot (by a guy and girl respectively). 
