The food here is amazing. But if I eat like this everyday, I am sure I will put on a ton of weight!! Everything is fried!! Fried potatoes, fried plantains, fried meat, fried rice…
So…folks from the hospital came to pick us up from the airport and we got our first glimpse of the city. It is teeming with people, lots of tiny roads, very pretty women (!) and loads of hills! So...our apartment…it is very clean, there is no running water, we have electricity (but no fans), has mosquito nets and four locks!! We went to the super market in the evening and it is like a completely different world!! You can find most imported foods there. I bought a sim card but apparently it does not work because I did not hear back from the folks I texted :( I have to figure that out sometime tomorrow. There is hardly any internet around…but will try and find some once in a way… It is about 9pm and we are all sitting in the ‘common room’ and talking…because there is nothing else to do :) So, I figured I will start writing everyday and post these blabber when ever I can find time :)
I get to tour the hospital tomorrow…so excited! We met the doctor of internal medicine and had lunch with head of surgery…The doctors are so nice here :) Hopefully we can do something worthwhile here!!
