I've moved to my permanent site down in Jalal-Abad so if anyone wants to send me any letters or anything else I have a new address!
The address is:
Kyrgyzstan
Jalal-Abad Oblast
Bazarkorgon Rayon
Berinchi May Village
720 800
Allison Brieske
Кыргызстан
Жалал-Абат Областы
Базаркоргон Раойн
Биринчи Май Аыйл
720 800
Еллисон Бриски
Things will get here much quicker if you include both the English and Cyrillic spellings.
Sorry I haven't been keeping up much with the blog, I don't get to the internet often and when I do I can never think of anything particularly interesting thats happened. Lately though I've gotten bed bugs and last night I ate half a bowl of soup before I discovered that my 13 year old host brother had put tadpoles in it. My new family is nice, if a little creative with their food so I think eventually I will try and cook for myself. The bed bugs are a pain, especially without a washing machine but hopefully soon I'll be rid of them as I've used enough Kyrgyz Raid in my room to poison something, most likely myself.
Soon I plan on writing a recap of PST to let everyone know how all that went- basically I had a great time, the other trainees in my village were awesome (and still are) my host family was fantastic and I picked up the language way easier than I expected. Things are good at my permanent site as well now but the pace is much slower, especially for a school teacher in the summer, so I am trying to keep busy. I've started an English club twice a week at my school which seems to be a success and I've read a lot of books. We'll see how the summer goes but I'm excited to get to work properly in September.
