I already had a pre-written post for my first in country update but of course I do not have my flash drive to laptop with me. So here we go I arrived in Ouaga with 24 other volunteers. We stayed at this weird missionary/youth hostel/summer camp place for days and days of orientation, vaccines, and ice breakers. I took my language placement interview and realized that my french SUCKS. I tested into novice mid (novice low-mid-high, inter low-mid-high etc) A trainee must be inter-mid in order go to actual site. After this me and the other volunteers traveled to Sapone where we were adopted by out host families. They held a little ceremony full of heavy dancing and strong armpit aroma. Deodorant is def optional in this country. My home stay family is great, they cook me vegan food. I have a mother Alice, father Issaka, and a little 2yr old brother Farid. My family is very educated in comparison to the other families. Issaka is a nurse and Alice works at a bank. They probably thin...
10/31/2011 So today Halloween! Me and the other trainees are going to go to one of the 2 restaurants in Sapone and have a Halloween party. This past weekend was very interesting. Another trainee ETed (early terminated) on Friday. That’s the third one thus far. Our group is starting to make a bad name for ourselves. Other than that the weekend was pretty fun. Me and some of the other trainees had a night full of dancing, beer and American music. The bar owner let us plug in one of our ipods to the system and we turned that place out! Just when I thought the night couldn’t get any more interesting we bar hopped to the other bar (Belle Vie) and turned that place out too. Just imagine, 7 intoxicated foreigners dancing in the middle of the dance floor alone. I’m sure it was a weird site to see. For all of you wondering, there are some cuties in my stage (group). I think I’ll just leave it at that lol. The next morning (10/30/11) we caught the tail end of the tour...
I think that I want to add the modern pin up girl look to my repertoire because its a fun and cute look This is my sad and feeble attempt at a pinup girl look. It was a last minute thing, I will perfect it at a later date. there are so many bobby pins in my hair its redic! don't laugh... lol I'm not even going to describe the clothing b/c its pretty much crap! enjoy!
