I'm Here!

Hey everyone,

There's so much I have to say but i don't have much time because this is orientation and we have constant events. The internet is ok here in my dorm but is better at the compouters in the academic center. Skype though seems great--the sound is perfect and the video quality is worse but not terrible ( i will be able to see you fine really)--so everyone get a skype or get someone to teach you it (and try and go pon it as often as possible since i don't know exactly when i can talk). This will be the best way to keep in touch with some of you (as well as this blog). I'm getting a cell phone tomorrow but here are some points about the cellphone
1. it's a pay as you go nokia phone with different fares depending on the day (director advised us not to use during the day since very expensive)
2. Outgoing texts (meaning I can text all of you) are extremely inexpensive
3. Incoming calls are free!!! But that is for me--for you all, it will probably be expensive, but Mom: DIdn't you say you have an international plan now? This should be good for you then (but call to make sure before calling me).
I will know more info on the phone when i get it (i think tomorrow)

Also the food here is pretty good, haven't gotten sick yet! We had a big meal today--i had chicken in curry with rice, some fish, tons of fruit and fruit juices (all very very yummy) and some other things that I didn't know what they were. Also, its very easy for me to exchange money--Bank of America is accepted at every bank! (only bank like this, and absolutely no service or exchange charges) and visa is used more than mastercard.

Hopefully I can upload pictures and videos later but the internet may not be fast enough (especially long videos). I have to go now for a dorm meeting, will explain more later tonight! (it'll be the afternoon though for all of you, haha)

Love/Miss Everyone!
