Boom goes the dynamite

First of all, thanks again for all the comments everyone! If you mailed me a letter to the old address, i should still get it, it will just take a little longer. Thanks! So i have become a bigger chiefs fan since moving to africa due to their recent superb play. . . . So did they win on sunday?! Me and three other volunteers met up in the biggest town near us, called mkushi, last monday to do some shopping for our houses. We got up around five in the morning at a back packer hostel to catch the end of monday night football. It was the most american i have felt in months! Speaking of which, being in africa has made me forget about many things that americans find very important. The clock function on my phone works only occasionally and my watch broke long ago, so i have nearly forgotten the concept of time. I told a friend it reminds me of that scene from forgetting sarah marshall when the two characters are in hawaii surfing. Old roommates will know what im talking about if no one else does! Also i forgot for an entire day how old i was. A man working with me at the clinic asked me, and i could not remember if i was twenty one or twenty two. I guess it was because i am loosing grip with american ideals such as age and time. Aside from that, most everything is going well here. I am still spending my time getting acquainted with my community and greeting people. I can now cook over a charcoal brazier like it is a george foreman. I am eager to get some health groups going with in my community as well. I have joined the local football(soccer) club. We are currently playing in the champions cup. It is a bracket against other local teams with the winner receiving money i think. You should probably check out the vegas odds on our team. Hope school and work is going well there! Think of everyone often. Rock chalk.

High stepping in africa

Thanks again to everyone for the comments! I miss you all so much. Ricky- i would like to wish you a happy birthday for tmrw and mr andrew reeves, happy birthday on oct sixth! Just in case i cant update this before then. I wish i could be there with yall to help celebrate. So i got a new address in care any one in uncle sam land wants to send their boy some love. Its brooks perry, pcv peace corps p o box 840038 mkushi, zambia so use this one if you wanna hear back from me! So things are going well here. I need some hg tv in my life to figure out how to decorate my hut. So far, i have some pictures up and then a lot of blank space. Im trying to figure out a way to artistically move the ants on my walls so they look decorative. So far it has been to no avail. Let me know if anyone has any expertise on the issue. I have recently built a fence in my yard. It doesnt really make sense to fence things in around here, but it makes me feel a little bit like im back in american burbs. All thats missing is wilson to peek over the fence and say hi and im home in the red white and blue baby! Besides getting my house fixed up, i am also trying to meet as many people in my community. I have spent many hours already at the clinic and school and market place simply trying to get names with faces. Its hard going into a town where everyone knows who you are and expect you to know them as well. Hopefully by the end of two years i will know at least a few names. I hope everyone is doing well. Rock chalk!
