One of the very first things I learned about Sri Lanka (SL) was that Ceylon Tea is to SL as Starbucks is to Vancouver. I also quickly learned that coffee is not enjoyed by Sri Lankans and therefore it isn't enjoyed by any visitors either- meaning that the epsresso in SL sucks. This in itself will be a huge adjustment- my almost daily trips with Nick to our choice of several nearby Starbucks will no longer exist. oh what will i do? At least I have $32.43 left to enjoy on my gift card from my friends at the Canucks before I take off.Anyway, welcome to my blog. I leave for my project placement in Sri Lanka in just over a month and so I have a lot to do. In fact I basically have 2.5 weeks to pack up my entire life and store it away for a year. So, with that, accompanied by twinges of excitement, fear and a bit of what the heck have I gotten myself into- i sign out for the first time.
i'll check back in when the days are longer and I'm at least 65% packed and ready to go!
