Hi!

I wanted to let everyone know the move to the host fam went well. I have 3 sisters, Dalice, Phealy, and Dalen, and one brother Sophion. In order the sisters are 23, 19, and 16. They all speak great English and its been fun getting to know them. I have a room to myself that is pretty big and very nice. Also, my house is very close to MCC, maybe 5 to 7 minutes by bike. I'll be biking or taking a moto taxi (motodope) to MCC everyday. So far, its been really great. I will be spending the whole weekend with them, so hopefully it will go well.

Also, yesterday the four of us SALTers bought kick ass helmets for our future moto driving. I'm learning on Monday- well, my first lesson is then anyway. : ) I'm a little nervous about the traffic and the shifting, but I will be doing it all wearing an awesome pink helmet with a face shield that makes me look like a robot!

Good wisdom from another SALTers blog: Living in another culture is like being at a tea party where you don't know how to drink the tea, whether or not you should put your pinky up, or how you like your tea. But you like the tea, and you're learning. : )
