I'm most likely to be heard laughing before I'm ever heard talking.

Koulikoro Regional Training

12 April 2010

Things are a little different at Toubaniso, where there’s no internet and I’m not sleeping in the same H2 hut as I have at all other stays at Toubaniso with Peter and Jon (Peter and I settled for H3 with our friend Mike), but there’s still delicious food and fun folks to hang out with, plus I have a ton of reading material!
Last night at the Trash Pile, a bar that serves as a nightly locale for PCV's during any training at Toubaniso, I had interesting conversation with a couple PC transfers from Guinea and Madagascar. It was hard to hear their respective stories about being pulled prematurely from their villages, and problems they’ve had with adjusting to their new country of service. But both said they were very happy with how Mali has treated them so far, and thankful for the ease with which life here has been less challenging then they might have expected.
