digging holes and shaking hands...


...thats basically what yesterday consisted of for me,

yesterday was my first experience of being in a developing country, and first hand its no surprise when it hits you harder than if it were on a tv screen.

We as a group were helping to dig a massive hole in preperation for the yearly floods that usually wipes out the village that we were visiting, now if that was my village i would be pissed off, but these people just get on with it which is impressive in itself.

I was also surprised at how well recepted we were, the locals all wanted to talk to us and it was smiles and handshakes all the way....

We like reading about your experiences gappers and we are also looking forward to having Rachel 'home'. Her colleagues miss her - it's very quiet without her.
