So i've been keeping a journal but i feel like it is very wordy and i'll be trying to keep the updates to the important stuff. I've been here now since sunday and already been having some great adventures. I found out that the locals who are our language trainers like playing volleyball so we've gone down to the beach and played with them. Also my card tricks have been a huge hit with one of the older trainers named George and he's been teaching me the language a lot while trying to explain the card tricks. Also, the machete i brought was a big hit and everyone wanted me to get down a coconut and chop it up on the first day so i obliged and ended up getting stung by a hornet cause there was a nest in the tree haha. It stung quite bad but luckily i'm not allergic. Kava was a different experience, it tasted like mowed grass to me but the effect was quite unique. The area is beautiful but soon we'll be moving out of the orientation site and headed to the training village. Island life is definitely slower moving nothing is quite on time but as most people know me that works out quite well. Looking forward to whats to come and ill try to keep it updated.
