when I get older I will be stronger

Please, if you ever go to developing country, do not be THAT American. One of the only problems I have so far with this amazing place is the people, the American people. There are so many kids here from different places who complain so much I can not believe it. “I don’t have enough internet” “My bed is too stiff” “I cant eat 4 meals a day.” Yes, that is because you are in Africa, it is an amazing place that is developing very fast, but is still Africa.
Besides that I have been very busy writing things for the company to send out to other people. I have heard that I got a promotion! I will no longer be a chaperone but an Assistant Venue Manager, which gives me more opportunities to go to games, more responsibilities, and more authority. It also means I am locked into the Hotel that I wanted to work at, Avianto. It is a Tuscan styled resort in the countryside fully equipped with a five star restaurant which I will eat at for free, gardens to stroll through, and a bar. IT is also only fifteen minutes from the lion and rhino park so I will be playing with more babies!! I have loads of pictures but because of bad internet it is difficult to get them online, me and the other people in my house are thinking of starting a photobucket, it’s a website where you can upload all photos from your camera in bundles instead of one at a time, and just putting them all there. If it happens in the next week I will send the link out.
Mom I am sorry that I was off by a few days but I have been super busy and not much has happened since I last talked to you. There is only 18 days left until the beginning of the games and until then there is not going to be much fun stuff to talk about.
On a good note I don’t think I have ever felt as patriotic than I do now. It is so funny because if I saw someone in America wearing an American flag shirt I would think they are tools but everyone does it here. People will walk around with hats and shirts that have the S.A colors on them and they are so pumped about the world cup. If you have not yet seen the Coca Cola commercial about the dances that players perform after scoring a goal please youtube it, its fantastic. Also the song ‘Wavin Flag’ by an artist named K’naan is huge here and it is also out of this world good.
Ok well Im out of ideas and internet, I miss you all and love you dearly. If you want me to elaborate on anything just ask. Ill try to be more prompt with my blogs.
