Loving life!

Just letting everyone know that I appreciate their love and concern. I'm as happy as a clam here! I get installed into my site down in Niandouba, Kolda on the 16th, and then my real job will start. Training over! I couldn't be more excited or happy.

If you intend on sending me something and haven't sent it yet, here is my new address:

PCV Constantinos Kokkinos
B.P. 26
Kolda, Senegal
West Africa

I've heard flat rate packages cost 55 dollars, that's a LOT of money. I'd rather you not spend that kind of money, I'm heading to Dakar for our Swearing In ceremony and I hear there is a shopping mall there, but if you want to send something... =)

Thanks everyone! I love you. Just ate half a chicken club sandwich and half a hamburger with an egg, gruyere onions and french fries on it, so even if I want Wendy's/taco bell I still find food to enjoy!

  1. Hi Costa,

    You didn't sound like you were enjoying life when you said you get some kind of meat once in awhile. What kind of mystery meat ends up on your plate? On second thought, don't tell me.

    Enjoy your trip to Dakar. The Sea Plaza Mall has a lot of the stores you are familiar with. There's also a cinema and a bowling alley. Make the best of your time in Dakar.

    The grocery with the largest selection of goods is next to the Radisson Hotel on the Corniche in the Sea Plaza mall.

    Post more pictures!

    Love you and hurry home,
    Seongy

  3. HiCosta,

    Enjoy your trip to Dakar. I understand the mall is very nice and modern. You will be familiar with a lot of the stores in the mall.

    The biggest supermarket in Dakar with the largest selection of products is next to the Radisson Hotel on the Corniche in the Sea Plaza mall.

    Enjoy life in Dakar for a day because you are headed for the sticks, otherwise known as Kolda!

    Love you and hurry home,
    Seongy
