there are just SO many...one of which is the frequent power outages...at least a couple every day lately. granted, this was one of those things i did expect coming here (knowing how iffy electricity can be in developing countries...in uganda i had to plan on no electricity after about 6 or 7pm at night), but we're really lucky that the Access Academy does have a generator so when the power goes off, we have basic amenities back on within seconds (air conditioners don't usually make the cut, but i'm alright with that). HOWEVER as we're heading into some of the hottest months of the year before the monsoon season, so i'm told, we're also heading into electricity problems. every year around this time, people expect the electricity to be especially unreliable because of the increase in usage, thereby overloading the system. holler. the girls are slowly coming to adjust to the AC-classrooms (when we have electricity) but the lack thereof in their dorm rooms...
some more fun joys...developing country = availability of glass soda bottles. love 'em. and don't think you're going anywhere because they want those bottles back...
oh, and the newest, latest of joys --- we got ID cards today. terrible pictures, awkward clip and embedded chip to get into the computer lab and ALL!
