updates and post swear in

In America, updating requires you to turn around and type some %^&* on your laptop or desktop. Thus we get awe inspiring updates such as "ate a potato today." This action requires no energy because your  sedintary lifestyle has already left you unable to move from your computer.

In Paraguay  internet is challenging. In my training community  i would need to get on a broke a%^ bus, travel 30 minutes to the closest town and sit in a boiling hot room jimmying with sites and downloads in the hopes that i can download or upload 2 pictures in the 40 minutes i sit there. In my site i will have to bike 1 hr and hopefully encounter a bus which will allow me to take a bike onto it instead of driving by at full spead with a "no bueno" face. Or bike in a different direction for 1.5 hours into the closest town where the internet willl likely laugh in my face when i try to sign on.

Swear in was really fun. Ate out and other than the massive toilet destroying chivivi that ravaged several volunteers including myself, we enjoyed ourselfs and went to a pretty awesome night club. I was also able to download like 28 things, mostly movies so i wont feel cut off from civilization. Ok thats all for now. Ill try to update more but there is the likelyhood my internet access with be once a month maybe so be patient dudes.

Jajotopata! - see you later!

  1. This definitely puts things in perspective. We take so much for granted here in America.
    It sure sounds like you're having an adventure, hope all is well (:
