Living the Life of Luxury in Tanzania

We have been in Tanzania for 2 days now and I realized that I am living the life of luxury at the hostel we are staying at.  By life of luxury I mean that I have running water AND electricity.  To be completely honest, I am not super excited about giving up these things.  There has been some adjustment so far.  I must sleep under a mosquito net every night, and the toilet and shower aren't separated.  This means that after I shower the whole bathroom is covered in water.  There is also no hot water, so I am learning to enjoy cold showers.  I usually wake up sweating, so I have learned that the showers may not be a bad thing. 

Training has been okay so far.  We have been getting tons of vaccinations which is no fun.  And I am STRUGGLING to learn kiswahili at a pace I want to be at.  I still have jet lag so that makes things difficult. We have been learning a lot about safety and security and techical Peace Corps stuff.  Also, we have been learing how to stay healthy! On Sunday we will move to another training site and stay with our host families.  I should quickly mention that I cannot disclose the location of my site, or where we are for training due to security purposes so don't even bother asking.

I will update soon!

P.S. I pay for computer time so theses posts are usually quick and unedited...
