Tonight at the ceremony we’ll be sworn in as official Peace Corps volunteers. After today I will no longer be a Peace Corps Trainee and will have official status.
The coolest thing is that now we actually get paid. No more living off $25 a month…now I can buy bananas every day- which I’m absolutely going to be doing.
So what does a person do for five days in a hotel in Ashgabat?
Take advantage of the running water and wash every single article of clothing possible.
Eat at Pizza Haus every day.
Have a gigantic hotel party (or two or three).
Dance on the speakers at the Ak Altyn Disco.
Purchase vodka just because there’s a big white horse on the label.
Spend every morning in pain, cursing the big white horse.
Three more days until we’re off…
