In town (and at the beach)
My newsletter gives a bit more of a picture of how I've been settling in, so here I'll just give a quick flavour of thoughts and ideas instead of a full run down of what I've been up to...Well, I've been here for just over a week and have been working for just under a week and am beginning to find my feet.
It's pretty warm and humid (as expected), keeps raining (wet season was meant to be mainly over by the end of September- somebody forgot to tell the clouds!) and has loads of places to explore and really friendly people to meet.
Went to the beach on Saturday- was amazing and is a beautiful gem- fantastic green mountains in the background, golden sand, waves suitable for gentle surfing (I think I might have to learn) and fresh cooked fish kebabs when you're ready to eat. Loved it and I've been told there's plenty more beaches to be discovered as well.
At somepoint I'll put some photos up as well- tho' I forgot to take my camera to the beach last weekend! One day I'll get organised!
The apartment is great- tho' somewhat lacking in furniture currently, my flatmate and I are trying to work out what we want and what would be most cost effective to get. We have power (wahey!- we didn't have it for most of our first week), but only when national power works or we remember to get fuel for the generator. We should be getting a bigger generator at somepoint- that way we'll have more than just lights in our bedrooms, which is nice but not particularly sociable in the evenings.
Anyway, hope that gives a flavour and look forward to reading any comments you make.
