Just to give you an idea of what it's like. Grocery stores don't give change. They only deal in bills so instead of getting change you are given candy. There are no ATMs or Credit Cards EVERYTHING is done on a cash basis. So any money I need it has to be wired from Canada. There has been problems with fraud at the banks so wired money is then only way to guaruntee that you are getting money. Fruits and vegetables are imported so it costs $12 for 6 apples. There is a place to get local fruit, it's called Imbari, it dangerous because it's a high density area and people are so poor that it can be dangerous. If I go it has to be with a local who can keep me safe and tell people i'm not interested. Shampoo costs $8 a bottle and you can't get paper towel. I'm learning how to adjust and having a good time. Internet is a bit hard to come by, but my hope is in the next week or 2 I'll have full access on my IPhone so please pray about that. Miss everyone at home. I'll write when I can.
