I’ve never appreciated internet access as much as I do now. To get from here to the nearest internet café takes about two hours. Although it’s a nice hike through the jungle to get from here to the main road, it’s quite an endeavor. I tentatively plan on going there a couple times during the week so I don’t feel too disconnected.
As I was walking around the school this evening I noticed a few kids playing the guitar. I stopped and asked them what songs they know. They were quite shy and decided to hand me the guitar. After showing them a few licks, I asked one of them to play a song. While one of them played another one sang. I was truly impressed how good they were, they had a great sense of rhythm and musicality. I told them I’d meet them back there tomorrow night with my guitar in hand and we could have a little jam session.
Today I took a quick jog around the property to get a better sense of my bearings. It’s basically a collection of steep hills, some paved and some not. Just now I made the mistake of opening our door to get a breath of fresh air and in flew a massive cricket. He is looking at me right now with trepidation, as long as he stays away from my bed it’s all good. My roommate Jade will be coming in soon, he somehow has the ability to lie down and pass out regardless of how hot it is. I’ve taken the foam padding off my bed and am now lying just on the wood frame. It’s much cooler so hopefully that will help out. Although Jade did come in a few minutes ago and say it was too hot for sleeping.... Great.
