many new impressions!

Hello! Hope everyone is doing okay! It is nice to read all your reactions and emails, sorry if I dont always respond to them all.

Still having internet problems unfortunately, going to the university tomorrow to find someone who can help me connect to their wireless network. I have two spaces where I can work, one at the university, which is not the organisation I am actually supposed to work for but it is quiet and has internet, and one at AmdePando, we organisation of municipalities, which is noisy and has nice people and no internet. So I try to dividfe my time. By now I have had about ten interviews already, with all kinds of government officials, NGOs, businesses... Also I have recieved a lot of information: management plans, etc, and have attended some meetings. Everything is going so fast! It is incredible, what I have done in just one week! Life here is pretty good, I have an amazing house and my roommate is really nice. Last weekend we went to Brazil, which basically means taking a 1,5 euro taxi for ten minutes if you want to go to the town with the supermarket, Epiticiolandia, or a five minute walk across the bridge from the main town square to get to a small town, Brasileia. You dont need a passport, you can pay with dollars, bolivianos and reales on both sides of the border, it is pretty cool. But still Brazil is very different. Much more organised, more western, which is nice, because here you can buy a greater variety of food products and other things, like clothes. There is not a great variety of fruits and vegetables available in Cobija. But I am learning to adapt. Well, that is it for now. One more thing: some of you have asked for my adress, to send me letters. The best thing you can do is send it to: Amdepando, Av. 9 de febrero 331, Ex Aeropuerto, Cobija. And I am told that mail should then arrive on my desk at some point in time!
