The info so far

For those of you who may not have gotten the latest info on my Peace Corps situation I'm going to Mongolia. The original plan, as some of you will remember, was Morocco but PC called and offered me this project and I accepted. I'll be flying out June 10th for Ulanbaatar. From there we are going to the aimeg of Zyynmod for pre-service training (PST), the first week of orientation we'll be in a dormitory and then move into home stay accommodation for the remainder of the 10 week training. I'll be doing Community Economic Development, specifically Small business advising. What exactly that will be I have no idea. From what I can gather I could be anything.

As of now I'm still in Denver, packing mostly. History has shown that I'm pretty bad at updating things like this, but I will do my best to update regularly. At the very least I will update when there is something interesting to share. I have been told that I will likely be out of touch during training so if you don't hear from me often for those first few months it's not because I don't like you, I'm just without an Internet connection (or I just don't like you :-p).

All for now, will fill in the details as they come in.
