Im alive

Im at an internet cafe and i only have a few minutes.

Malawi is pretty sweet.  My homsestay family is awesome.  My abambo (dad) is 33, a farmer and a builder.  My amayi (mother) is 27 and awesome.  Then I have two sisters (10 and 7), and a bother (3) who is totally obnoxious and hilarious.   basically the only time i get to spend with them is when we eat meals (3 squares a day), and an hour before breakfast.  My amayi usually wakes me up around 5 am to start doing chores (starting the fire, chopping fire wood, collecting water from the bore hole, etc.)  Most of our meals consist of nsima, beans, potato, rice, soya pieces, chicken, and veggies (cabbage or rape).  The rest of my day is spend learning Chitonga and enviro tech skills.

Im having an awesome time so far.  Everyone here is really cool.  I'll probably access internet 2 weeks from now when we get to go to site visits.  Talk to you then!
