Cheap Cheap Cheap!!!

OK, so get this! I just paid my rent here in Botswana and its was 60 pula. Thats is literally like $8.50 or something. My rent is 8 bucks! I mean really! I kind of can't believe it. but I'll take it. So, if you ever want to save some money apparently then just move to a tiny house in the middle of rural Botswana and you can do it! HAHA I'm sitting here in Gabs right now and am listeing to some very odd Bette Middler song playing in the mall. hmmmm.... Anyways, I'm here cause transport from my village has become very hard and so I had a meeting with my country director and supervisor and they lifeted the "lock down" policy for me. which was a really big help actually. We are all suppose to be on "lock down" for the first 2 1/2 months and not leaving our sites and especially not spend the night anywhere, but since transport is so hard and I basically have to be dependent on other ppl's sechedules that usually means I have to spend several nights away to get food and things. So, the Pc's was cool about it and understood that I was an "extreme case" as they called it and liufted the policy...which is a bit of a load off. Still, i need to figure out how to get around and how to do all this but its cool...with time I guess.
