What, we have to work?

Well today is the start of the second week at my job. Marie-Claude has been working at a school (forget the name off-hand) since last Wednesday. She is teaching English to 17 year olds and was also hired for 'International Relations'. I don't think she has any idea what that is, but I'll let her add her own posts about that.

Thus far I have had little time at my job. I don't actually have a desk/office so I when I am at work we generally go on field trips. The trips are a little strange actually. Well, the first one not so much. On Tuesday last week I went with my translator (Tuya - who happens to be a Gynecologist), a head doctor and my two counter parts, to a Hospital that is more advanced with IT infrastructure in UB. We all piled into an Isuzu Trooper (same model of truck as my parents have) and headed off to the hospital. The

My second field trip consisted of Tuya (my translator) and me getting a ride in the ambulance to the fifth main building of the Chingeltei Health Unit. It is over 2 KM from the other cluster of four buildings. I'm not sure how I'm going to get it hooked up to any type of WAN yet. But that's why they pay me the big bucks. Just a second, I'm volunteering!
