I, frankly, never knew Peace Corps had something besides those assignments. :) Don't you guys dare get eaten by a hippo.

One of my profs just got back from there, actually. His wife is a sociologist who was studying the local cultures, the two of them and their daughter spend about 7 months in the area. They all made it back fine.

In other news:
THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!

A Qualified Yay!

Crazy. It does sound very poor, but I imagine it would still be a good experience.
