TWIMC,
I was asked to make a blog post about my room for the next few months, and here it is. The first picture is my beautiful Tinkerbell dresser. It is where I hang up my nice shirts, towels and where I keep my first aid kit. I also tend to keep my shoes next to it at night.
The next picture is of my bed which is pretty standard. It has the mosquito net which is pretty usual, but the most important feature is the princess bedding, which as most people know keeps out the majority of household pests.
Thirdly I have the table and chair where I filter and treat my water. I also keep my toiletries there behind my books. The chair is where I fold up my clothes so that they are off the floor and easily accessible.
I hope the short tour has eased the minds of those who wanted it 😉. I live pretty modestly and have mostly just the basics to get me through PST. I am drinking plenty of water and take a multivitamin and fish oil with my malaria medication every morning at breakfast. I hand wash all my clothes and use a squat toilet which has been a swift yet painless adjustment from the habits I had in the US.
For anyone reading this who is hoping to join the Peace corps, I hope this little tour helped and that your passion to help other's thrives just as mine is here. I'll be helping my host dad out this weekend so I look forward to sharing that adventure with all of you!
Much love,
~BW
