Tuesday, July 12, 2005 Back in Peace Corps. HQ. Today we did our zemijan (motorcycle taxi) training. It was interesting enough, although I arrived late because I was being interviewed my program director. Suffice to say the zemis are little mopeds of which there are thousands in the city. They are really everywhere. It's cool because it's convenient and cheap. I mean you stick your hand in the air and close your fist a few times saying "Kekeno wawa" (Zemijan, come, come!) and they appear. You argue about the price, and then you're off for a wild ride.

Nothing else really of note yet, still no time for pictures. I'll try and resize them in the near future and get them up. Soon I'll have enough for a full CD, so maybe I'll just send a CD home... we'll see what is faster =P
