Well, I leave tomorrow to go to Tsiroamandidy (say that 10 times fast) in the Bongolava region--google images could give you an idea. We've already learned so much about the culture outside of the city, and I'm super excited to see it in action. For gifts, we're all bringing notebooks, pens, colored pencils, and chocolate to our host families, all of which are too rare and expensive for them to have frequently. My host father is an agriculteur, or farmer, and there will be 10 people living in my house (not including me). So all in all it should be a fun-filled, eye-opening adventure. At least I'm already well practiced on the bucket showers! All of this said, I have terrible news: I won't be able to blog for something like 10 days. I know, I know. But don't worry, I'll still keep a journal and will be sure to share clippings, much as I have done as of yet.
And I despise government bureaucracy...it's going to cost me between $50-100 to get the package my Dad mailed me out of customs--a package filled with what was stolen out of my bags when I first arrived. Me and cameras just seem not meant to be...
