I have officially been here for three days! I have a National Insurance Board card, and a bank account, so the Bahamian government is officially aware of my existence.
My house (shared with roommates Sam and Liz) is great, a good size regular stucco house with three nice bedrooms. I live in the attic! All the comforts of home except wireless internet (plugged in only) and cable TV (courtesy of Miami FL) and running water (undrinkable). Believe this: we are 60 seconds (closer to 4 minutes considering the ankle) away from the beach! It's beautiful and clear, with white sand and even the odd fishy exploring.
Some random facts that I have uncovered thus far...
1. There are ants EVERYWHERE. Small and determined ones, that are quick and plentiful.
2. The iphone is an astonishing $950 here.
3. They drive on the left side of the road, and make good use of the roundabout.
More to post soon, including photos of my classroom and the beach!
Don't forget about me!
