The hardest part was finding the room. Seriously, this semester is going to be the easiest one I've ever had.
Oh, and one of my prof's said he could put me in touch with some NGO's in Cyprus, how cool is that? Tomorrow when I can get onto my email again, I'll send him one so he can forward it to them. Wish me luck! I'm not really sure what I'm hoping for yet...
I attempted to make tzaziki spread today... and oh man it's amazing :D
I've gotta cut down on my consumption though, because groceries here are expensive!
Oh yeah, and we went to the other side of the island a couple days ago-- the Turkish side.
A few years ago they declared themselves a separate country, but they aren't recognized by any country except Turkey. We had to show our passports, but they only stamp the visa. I now have a visa and stamps from a country that legally doesn't exist!

Ok - you need to explain the foods you are eating! What is the tzaziki spread? Sounds interesting! Is the food spicy? So sorry about your camera - can you buy the little disposable kind there like you can everywhere in America? And what is NGO's? Ok - the end of my interigation.

Aunt Sue, NGOs are Nongovernmental Organizations--Like Amnesty International or Doctors without Borders--an organization that doesn't affiliate with a country or government. They usually have an easier time getting into conflict zones or unstable countries, areas of extreme poverty etc, to help the citizens there because of their neutrality. I think maybe religious organizations like UMCOR might fall under that category, but I'm not sure.
