Shake shake shake

Posted in Ideas, Lilongwe by Dom on February 28th, 2007

So I’ve been traveling a lot it seems lately. I had to go down to Yorgos’ site a few weeks ago for some more language training. Then I went to Mary Cate’s site to see how it compares to mine since she is the closest (It only takes 4 hours to get there). And now I’m here in Lilongwe.
I’ve come here to talk to Dale and Dora. I have a proposition to make that could shake things up here. I think it’s a really great idea. Basically I want to write a book to augment to the poor quality textbooks we all have to use here. Only the requirements to do that will challenge some of the norms here at Peace Corps Malawi. I’ll write more later, depending on how my meetings go.
Otherwise things are calming down. The crazy fantastic is becoming normal, the novelty is wearing off, and normal life, Malawi-style, is setting in.
The rides I get have been pretty awesome. I got one ride with the district administrator for the Rumphi district, who has apparently also picked up Yorgos and Leslie. I got a ride from a former physical science teacher, a ride from a landcruiser full of beer drinking malawians, world vision. All solid stuff.
