Six days in

Today is day 6 in Hong Kong. Tomorrow will round out a solid week for me. Basically, my life consists of my three awesome roommates, work, work, work, dinner, beer, and topless dishing. We basicallyare training 7am to 8pm with half hour travel times on either side. It's a little nuts right now, but it makes for a really good conversation when everyone gets home at night. We are split into four different groups, and I am in different groups from all my roomies. So yeah. That's helpful for conversation 'round the house... though I don't any of us needs help in that area.

I still have crazy jet lag, and it's been hard for me to sleep through the night. So I'm drinking a lot of tea -- which is DEEEEE-licius -- and spending a lot of time staring up at the glow-in-the-dark stars on my celing. And finding new things to attach duct tape to. There are a LOT of things that duct tape will stick to, and NOT come off of, coincidentally.

All in all, I am having a good time, but am spending a lot more money that I thought I was going to. None of my food or transportation is covered, so that's been a little bit of a bummer that I need to put behind me. I hope that it won't ruin my chances at hoppin down to Guatemala after this job is over... but I may in fact have to stick around for a month or so and do a little temp job. We'll see. The good thing is that dinner really only costs between 2 and 4 american dollars and it's really good. The bad thing is that dairy is scarce, so an ice cream cone can cost more than a meal. And anyone who knows me from eve knows that I would gladly take an ice cream cone over dinner any day.

Tomorow we are going to an island off the coast of our island, which is off the coast of hong kong island. We are going to spend a couple of nights there, and do high elements stuff. DALE if you are reading this... I really wish you were here. :)

Off to pack, and then off to bed! Long couple days tomorrow before the chaos that will be our three days off before programs actually start.

I miss everyone today. Especially my girls. Lots of love out there...
