Day 1

Day 1:
Exhausted from the long flight but as mentioned in my last post, arrived safely to the dorms. Also had many layovers en route, but did not get to leave the airport or see much of the land from aerial view since it was either dark or I was sitting in the aisle seat. When I arrived,the immigration officer only stamped my passport for a 30 days stay despite me having a 1 year visa. This was quite unexpected. However, later I found out that this has been the norm for most of my fellow volunteers since late last year. Hopefully, the extension will not be too difficult.

First impressions (from while waiting at the airport to arrival to the dorms):
-very hot and humid (it felt like 40'C)
-lots of UN vehicles and personnel on ground
-very beautiful sunset
-dangerous driving conditions

Slept very well that night.
