Holidays abroad & Vlog #13

A very truthful humorous definition of Peace Corps.. in case you still don't know what it is.. 

Happy holidays!!!
Halloween. Thanks giving. Christmas. New Years

So many holidays and nobody to celebrate them with out here in Ethiopia.. well except my awesome Sitemates & other Peace Corps homies :)


This is how I spent my holidays this season.

Vlog #13
IST = In Service Training

I got to meet up with all my PC friends in Addis for a full week for IST. Luckily for us, IST was only 5 days before Christmas.. so we decided to do a secret santa gift exchange in the spirit of Christmas :)








Thanksgiving
was spent with my wonderful site mates and about 20 other PCV's who decided to crash in Wolisso for the weekend. We had a potluck thanksgiving and all put in money to pay for certain foods, others shared the contents of their care packages & magically we managed to whip all this together. There was a chicken curry dish, stuffing, candy, cookies, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes & mac and cheese from a craft macaroni box lol. Still I was extremely impressed & felt all tingly inside as we all gave thanks and I sat and ate with my new PC family.
