move to Mali

Ok, so officially moved to Mali Island......no running water, no sink, no flush toilet, no TV, no electricity until it gets dark, and I live in a bamboo hut.....Life is goooooood actually. The people are wonderful, they are very willing to teach me the local language, which is good because without it I will have no social life.....

end of training

training will finally come to an end next thursday, then I'll be heading to Mali Island for my two years of service. PC has crammed so much shit into the last week of training, I have lots of presentations and projects due as well as my final language test tomorrow. If I fail I get held back in training for a week but I'm not worried at all about passing. The weather lately has been very mild on Viti Levu, its in the high sixties most days with plenty of rain, this is winter in Fiji. In Mali there will be lots more sunshine since It is part of the dry side of Vanua Levu. The only downfall of living on the dry side is the lack of water, I'll be relying on rainwater a lot for drinking, so lets hope I get enough to survive........
