people ask if i'm crazy... yeah, i think i am.

Thus far, I've only done a 7km tuk tuk ride from the airport to my hotel... and what I've seen is so incredibly different, I don't know what I should expect when I go to the Orphanage tomorrow...

- there are wild cows on the side of the road, that look really unhealthy and very thin
- there was a mother with THREE kids under the age of 2 on a bicycle riding along
- houses made from umbrellas, tree scraps with lots of kids
- kids walking around everywhere
- upon arriving, miles and miles inland just looked flooded, with trees scattered and the land looks so underdeveloped, trees sporadically placed everywhere... it was a sight, but it's so crazy that there really isn't much
- there is a "cock a doodle do" chicken that i can hear from my window, and he does it more than just once at sunrise...
- there wild, skinny dogs everywhere

I've learned from the flights here that I can manage by myself and by doing so, I'm on the road to growing up. I also really miss everyone at home already even though my hotel is beautiful, my room is nice, this is gonna be a huge adjustment, I'm not sure how but I think I'll be able to handle this... but it is going to be a long month...
