In Windheok
So we arrived last night after travelling for two days. The 14 hour wait in London was little excruciating(sp?). However, all baggage and stuff got here ok. have a nasty cold but nothing too bad.
To tell you the truth I don't think it has really hit me yet that I'm in Namibia. Today when comign to the internet cafe it hit a bit but nothing too much in the face. I have a feeling I'll wake up and be in the US.
The city is pretty clean. I'll actually be in Windheok, which is the capital city for teh whole summer. Haven't had any interaction with the locals so can't say much about the culture yet. However, it is interesting to see white people on billboards for expensive stuff. The city is pretty clean and the US embassy pretty secure. That's pretty much it.
A lot of talk about crime and safety. It's wierd, coz when I was sitting back at the place where we're staying I had a million things running in my head that I wanted to write. First impressions of the first African country I go to. But now I can't think of anything specific. Well you'll read more later.
I would hardly have internet access during orientation which is a week long but hopefully after that I'll have a more regular access.
All the volunteers are together at the Rossing Institution for orientation.
Some of the other volunteers are pretty American! But not too bad!!! Actually I haven't really talked to them much...atleast not anything controversial.
Its winter here but while the sun is up....its pretty warm.
Gotta run...take care all and let me know what you're up to.
