Hi, hola, konecheewa, yobosay-o, asalam alaykum
Well, been here a week and already have some pretty good stories. Got my first flight today, good stuff. Still trying to catch up on sleep. Hopefully the lag passes soon. i have been going out and seeing the town. Went to an open market the other day called Baata. You can find pretty much anything there from electronics to old military stuff to nuggets of gold. The prices are borderline astronomical. You can barder down the price some but it's usually still well over US prices. Found out shipping costs a butt load of money to get things sent here. Got into our 1st auto accident. The driving here is 10 times worse than NYC. Everyone honks all the time like NY but they also make their own lanes. A 2 lane road turns into a 4 lane road somehow. People will make a left hand turn from the far right lane. We were going straight as someone on our right side decided to turn left. It's interesting what events happen when there is an accident. You stop exactly where you are at, wait for the police which could take minutes or hours. I've heard sometimes they will take everyone to jail and decide blame there, witnesses included. I also heard if you are passenger, it's a good idea to book it. We stayed around for this one and blame was placed on the other person on the spot. Anyhow, exciting stuff. Other than that, just trying to find things to keep busy. Well, that's about it for now. I'm sure i'll have more to write as I start traveling more. So take care all, catch ya next time

Its mike from EMT life, we herd that there was a command change within the SRCA and all of us with work visas might not be getting plane tickets? Would you mind checking the forums and letting us know or sending me an email 3rdschulz@gmail.com
