Quick Post

Ok guys, quick update.

Only 3 more weeks left of training and then I'll be in Nairobi for a week for swearing in and then I'm off to Laikipia to start teaching!

So I guess the most exciting thing I've done these past couple of weeks is eat a live termite. After it rains, a WHOLE BUNCH of termites will be flying around and mostly kids and students will catch them and eat them like it's candy. They go crazy for them! After it rained one day, I the termites were swarming as usual, and another trainee and myself decided to try it. So we just grabbed one from the air and popped it in our mouth. They don't have taste, but their wings have a weird texture. Next time some people told me to pull of the wings and then roast them with salt. Apparently they will taste better. If I get curious or bored enough again, I'll be sure to try that.
