I was lacking in the update department this week so I guess I'll just have 3 today.

One thing I realized this week which is really interesting to me is the fact that a large amount of people here probably can't read or write. Such a strange concept since most of the people I interact with are able to. The busses here are different colors to let people know the routes and then there are men who yell out the front where the bus is going in case people can't read the signs on the front. Some of them have stripes and stuff too to distinguish them. It's just such a foreign concept because everyone I know is able to read by the age of 5. Just a different way of living since I'm in a third world country.
