After staging in phili, hanging out in JFK for 5 hours, traveling for what felt like forever (really it was about 12 hours of flying... could be worse), I'm in Azerbaijan! We just finished the first day of training and so far I love it! The people in my group (~60 trainees) are amazing. I'm lucky to be around them! So great!
We're restricted to the hotel for these first few days to get used to life here, let our bodies adjust and get some basic language down for a few days. Then we go to live with our first host family. Very exciting!
I'll work on a longer post in a word document and then update in a bit. Just know that everything is going great! I'm tired as all hoo ha.. but awesome. Once I figure out the postal system, look for letters back to the states.
and an interesting tid bit? I just had my first decent cultural interaction. Cleaning staff at the hotel. nice. :-)
