I am alive!
I kind of understand now how all the other pcv people update once or twice after getting in country, and then stop. It is hard and it is hard to explain what exactly is going on. The simple explanation is that I am in training living with a host family in a suburb of the capital, having 4 hours of language and 4 hours of technical class a day. Next week I find out what site is MY site, and I am sure I will have a lot to say about that.
