...(and other bizarre phenomena characteristic of the modern age).
I think I posted something quite like this last year, as well--just blown away by the particular elements of modern, global culture that have made their way to this smallest, poorest, and rural-est of countries. The internet cafe, actually, is owned by some Indian immigrants, I think, and there are a bunch of them here. I just had pizza at a Halaal Take-Away restaurant.
The week was a full one, and throughout a bunch of opportunities came along that I'm really excited about. I've made some friends, which is something I was hoping for from the very beginning; and I was able to identify and scout out a site for a project I want to start next summer. I'll even get to take the first steps--some interviews with religious leaders in the area--before I go. It's hard to beleive that just three weeks from now I'll be heading back to the US. Feels like I just got here.
I'm happy, though. It's hard and intense every day--sleep often 9 or 10 hours at night--but it's good. Real good. More later!
