That's right. Today I ate a donut that had "donut" written on it in frosting. Today was the best day ever.
Well folks, I have been in Cambodia for about 2 days now, and let me tell you, it seems like an hour and a year at the same time. Everything is so different and overwhelming that the days seem like they have to actually be weeks. However, considering how little I know, I feel like I've been here for five minutes. The past few days have been an absolute blast. We have training during the day where we learn how to not die (A volunteer has never died in Cambodia, FYI) and how not to puke our guts out all the time. At night we usually go out to eat, walk around or do some sort of group activity. One of my favorite things so far has been the group jazzercise classes they hold outside for free. Just imagine about 20-30 Cambodians all doing some aerobics on a public sidewalk with some awesome techno/elevator music playing in the background. It's like a flash mob!
Tonight we actually went on a party BOAT. That's right, you heard me. A party boat. This was definitely not what I had in mind when I left for the Peace Corps. But for the low, low price of $6 we got some delicious pizza and a 2 hour boat ride. Come visit (in six months)!
So far, life has been pretty plush. But we head out to our training sites tomorrow, so we'll see what that has in store for us!
Sorry for the short post, but believe me, I'll get some embarrassing stories in here soon. I'm going to be living with a family who does not speak the same language as me....it's gonna get interesting.
