A couple of notes....

I´m back from my first culture/tech and it was a lot of fun! It was a lot of fun... besides for the fact that nearly all of us got sick... boy was that fun. I´m sure i´ll update more about it later... but for now... just a couple of notes about mail...

Mail takes 2 weeks via airmail (as opposed to ground mail that takes months)... anything larger than a letter should be put in a padded envelope if possible... and restricted to 4.4lbs (2 kilograms). After my training finishes... care packages can be sent (I´ll have a new address by then)... but no value should be declared. More information on that will be coming when I know where I´ll be sent for the two years.

Hasta luego!
