It makes me happy, anxious, reminiscent, nostalgic, and a little nauseous all at the same time - but so is the life in the Peace Corps world, right?<br /><br />We the same Utah issue in Azerbaijan. We would tell them and they would give us a look like perhaps we had tricked them and we weren't actually from the US. We got to the point where we would say, "Utah. It's near California." And then their eyes would light up and say, "Oh, California!" It worked. :)<br /><br />There are SO many frustrations along the way - more than you'll ever even thought possible. Things will frustrate you almost to your breaking point - things that you wouldn't even have thought twice about back home, but hang in there! You won't regret doing this! I promise Alexx! Keep focusing on the positive events - like you are already doing!<br /><br />I look forward to many more updates on FB and your blog!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358842890652870019noreply@blogger.com
