Hi everyone! I wrote a sprawling account of my first two months here in Malawi on my laptop but I have Linnux installed on it and Word won't recognize the file format. So in other words, I can't post it now but I'll figure something else out for the future. I'll leave you with some pictures and hopefully they'll tell some of the story.
My home for the next two years is a place called Livingstonia--an epic place with waterfalls, green mountains, cool weather and the lakeshore just 15km away down the mountain. You can look it up online because it's a tourist attraction in Malawi...but I get to live there for two years! I'll be working with beekeeping a lot up there, but there is also potential for other types of work like mushroom farming, permaculture, teaching at schools and a lot of other things that I'm not aware of yet.
Email is very slow and expensive here and I'll only be able to use it every month or so, so if you want to communicate you can send a letter (you know, paper...stamps) and if you send one I'll write you back. Or call my parents and they'll give you my cell phone number if they like you.
About the pictures:
Me and my host family, the Chitsulos. A view from the Livingstonia Platue. Sorry there aren't more pics right now. Internet is still dial-up here so things take forever to download. All the best to everyone! Sending love--
Yoel
