Hello Friends, Family and Foes,
I am currently sitting in an Internet cafe that is right down the road from our guest house. The past 3 days have been a blur. My flight went very well and have come to realize American airlines suck. I flew on KLM from Amsterdam to Uganda and had a very nice flight. Not only do you get a personal T.V. in the head rest infront of you(I got to watch Aladdin and Happy Feet) but they also feed you well and give you hot towelettes... After I arrived in Uganda I stayed at a hotel near by and got to know some cool South African students who had been traveling around Uganda for the past couple of months. We shared "phat beats" with eachother and exchanged e-mails. In the morning Leslie, the Uganda volunteering coordinator, picked me up and took me to my new home. I am living with 6 girls and one boy. Our house is very nice with a balcony onto the main road. I'm really happy I got placed in Mukono District because: a) Many volunteers are left out in the bush(villages) b) All village people(no not the group) come to the guest house to hang out and c) we are located in a town so there are alot of western things around... As for the things I was nervous for and excited for the list has changed a bit... so lets make another one...
Top Africa events I'm excited for:
1/ Rafting down the Nile
2/ Teaching(starting Monday)
3/ Rolex's(Not the watch but some egg wrap I have yet to try)
Top Africa events I'm scared for:
1/ The temp(its actually chilly here.. its about 70 today)
2/ Bugs in my feet(which do exist because I have them.. DON"T BE WORRIES Esther our house mum with be picking them our for me later)
4/ Boda Boda's(motercyle taxis, they come very close to the big taxis when riding on them
Well thats about it for now. A bunch of us are headed to Ginger to run some errands.
Peace and love to all!!

Hey Dragon,
Miss you already! New office OK but no friends there. The caring and sharing will have to happen when I visit the old shtetl (jewish ghetto for you goyim out there).
I don't feel the peanut M&M vibe in this group.
Love,
Jody
