This time tomorrow we will be on a plane to our staging event in Philadelphia. From there we will fly to Istanbul and then to Bishkek. We will spend a few days in Bishkek for training and will then proceed to a village near Kant City. Alex and I will then spend our first 3 months living with a host family and participating in professional and language training, after which we will be placed in our final location (TBD). Before we leave, I would like to share two things with all of you.
First, our mailing address for the first few months of our service will be...
Kyrgyzstan,
722140, Kant city
97 Lenina Street, RUPS
Mailbox # 22
Athena Parker/Alex Huss
The second thing is a poem of sorts. Last month we went to see Girl Talk in Philly with Jonathan and Emily. One the way in I took a nap. When I woke up we were right outside of the city and I had a silly poem in my head. Anyway, it seems mildly relevant now.
Driving through the city of zeppelins
as if being lifted by a puff of air
an airplane drifts gracefully upward.
Thus begins the journey.
