¿Taxi, caballero?
Apr. 2nd, 2010 06:31 pmHow rude of me to not update for so long, especially when my last entry was "omg why am I doing this"! xD I admit I have not been paying any attention at all to LJ or my friendlist, so feel free to direct my attention to posts you'd like me to see. (lol, I think I'm flattering myself. x) )
Anyway! Come midnight tonight I will have been in Lima, Peru for one whole week! There have been some ups and downs of course but overall I am enjoying it. :) I got used to the crazy noisy traffic after the first day, same with not drinking the water (although it is a bit of a pain), but not throwing any paper in the toilet is taking a bit longer, TMI~. I shall have to do a longer letter later that recaps my trip so far a bit better than all this. So far I've just been seeing the sights with my dad; he left about an hour ago to kill some time before his flight home, and now I'm sitting in the volunteer house, glad I don't have to share a computer anymore! lol x) I really have no idea what I'm going to be doing this weekend, especially with it being Easter weekend and everything being closed, but bright and early Monday morning I begin my month of (much needed :| ) Spanish lessons, and then after that I get my month of volunteering. I'm feeling a little awkward right now but hopefully I'll adjust soon and all will be well.
This is a totally useless entry, apologies! I'll try to update more regularly from here on.
OH, ALSO: One of the volunteers here is from Ontario, but he went to the same university I did, graduated the same year I did, and even took Japanese classes there, although as far as we can figure we were never in the same ones. CRAZY!!
