The khumbi that dropped us off returns to our door step, we gave them a lot of extra money so that it is just us in the khumbi and we get literally door to door service and avoid that crazy bus rank.
And we return to Pirate pizza for two more super size pizzas YUMICIOUS. (the is my word for great food its Yummy and Delicious combined)
At the bar at the backpackers we meet and hangout with some PCV’s from Botswana. The Peace Corp really is kind of like a fraternity/sorority once you’re a part of it, you really make some great friends and have an instant connection with someone just cause we all gave up our lives in the US to go to the foreign countries and even though each persons service is radically different based on culture, country, terrain, a person’s sex, rural vs towns, all of those and more. We all just have a connection.
Starting on June 24th, 2010 I departing from Los Angeles to Swaziland in Africa to begin my journey through the US Peace Corps. On Aug 23rd, I became an official PCV. The rest of what you read here is my adventure and job helping fight HIV AIDS for the next two years. As of Sept 25th, 2012 this blog is completes with 2 years of service. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading.
