Kasalalie

Kasalalie (Pohnpeian for hello) I finally made it to Pohnpei. We had a twelve hour delay in Hawaii and had to stop in Majuro, kwajelin, Kosrae, before finally arriving in Pohnpei. I met my host family at three in the morning and they weŕe drinking sakau (like Kava in Fiji). My host family keeps chickens and hogs and for a shower we have a hose and two buckets. It may sound bad but after I played basketball in this heat it was the best showere I´ve ever taken. We visited my school and home today and it was great. The house is pretty small and my roommate Lucas and I have to share a room but we have a beautiful ocean view and supposedly we get great sun sets. The Pohnpeian people are so kind and welcoming and they offer me more food than I can eat. I´ve only been here two days but it feels much longer than that. Iĺl try to put some pictures up soon but I don´t have internet access at my house so I have to use the computer at the FSM telecommunications department. I start language and teaching classes on Monday and will start teaching August 16th. Iĺl keep everyone posted.
